Our Vineyard

Mewstone Vineyard

Our vineyard lies on the banks of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in the coastal farmland of Flowerpot, southern Tasmania. Gently north-facing slopes capture the cool southern sunshine, while nearby hills shield the site from prevailing westerly winds. The soils are classic Jurassic dolerite-based duplex soils: loamy topsoil over a sandy loam horizon on clay — ideal for premium cool-climate viticulture.

We planted the first two hectares in 2011, with an early focus on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. After trialling other varieties, we’ve refined our plantings to these three, which consistently show the clarity, finesse, and site character we value. The vineyard has since expanded to 5.5 hectares, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as the backbone.

The vineyard is hand-pruned and hand-harvested, with help from family and friends. We manage the site from the ground up — with a strong focus on soil health and vine balance. Through consistent use of mulches and compost, we’ve seen steady improvement in vine resilience and fruit quality. We think you can taste the difference.
