We’re very excited to be offering our very first range of wines from Tasmania under the Notley Gorge label. Sourced from the Tamar River and drier East Coast regions, this small but perfectly formed and attractive range of wines are made at the Rosevear Estate which looks out over the Tamar River estuary north of Launceston on the Northern side of the island. Dr Richard Smart (viticulturalist) and Dr Andrew Pirie (winemaker), both of world renown and industry recognition, are responsible for turning in quality fruit and making premium wines. Our first venture consists of a couple of classic varietals, which we’ll expand by including a Pinot Grigio later in the year from the 2008 vintage and then a small and boutique range of vineyard specific and hand crafted wines during 2009. After his recent trip to Tasmania, our New World Buyer has been lauding the potential of Tasmania and hasn’t shut up about it being ‘the model of the future for the New World’, so please help us to keep him quiet by tasting these wines…
