Petrichor Wines

Located in the Coal Valley at Tea Tree, in Southern Tasmania the biodynamic vineyard comes with a northerly aspect, sunshine all day, amazing soils and a relatively steep slope.

Kate and Tim have always been organic and they didn’t see any reason to change that ethos. Developing this further they wanted to nurture the soil and choose to farm biodynamically. It’s about respecting the earth that gives the food and about integration and not separation. To that end, eventually it will be a poly-culture farm. They are planting Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Gruner Veltliner close planted on 1.8ha and while these are growing, they have sourced parcels of grapes that speak of the terroir of the Coal Valley. They make our wines with minimal intervention. These grapes have been hand-picked, wild yeast inoculated, basket pressed, hand bottled and hand labelled. A real labour of love and a testimony to how they like their wine.
