ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Lowestoft homestead is one of Tasmania’s oldest, built around 1850. This magnificent property is situated on the banks of the picturesque Derwent River and overlooks the renowned Mona Museum art gallery and Moorilla Winery. The property is located 15 minutes north west of Hobart in the Derwent Valley region. The low rainfall and cool temperatures allow long even ripening producing outstanding fruit. The Lowestoft vineyard is a small densely planted (8,300 vines per hectare) 3 hectare vineyard with some of the oldest Pinot Noir plantings in Tasmania. Originally planted in 1986, the grapes are some of the most sought after in the region. Lowestoft wines channel the clarity of Tasmania’s cool climate into wines of precision and quiet luxury. Every wine feels sculpted by the southern air, offering an elegant, linear expression of Tasmania. Pinot Noir is the hero, silk-lined, aromatic and shaped by the island’s crisp evenings; while Chardonnay shows tension, fine acidity and a crystalline finish.
