Moore's Hill Estate
Moore’s Hill Estate is a boutique, family-operated wine producer located in the beautiful Tamar Valley in Tasmania, Australia. We take great pride in our specialty — estate grown, single vineyard wines of outstanding depth, quality and personality.
Our small vineyard is located on a beautiful northeast-facing hillside near the sleepy town of Exeter in the Tamar Valley. Established in 1997, Moores Hill is an ideal location to plant grapes. The site is at 120m above sea level and is part of a ridge system that rings the valley floor below giving the site good aspect, elevation and drainage. As the crow flies we are 5 km from the Tamar River and 30 km from Bass Strait making us one of the coolest sites on the West Tamar – ideal for the slow and gentle ripening of our precious grapes.
Tasmania possesses some of Australia’s true cool to cold climate wine regions. Moore’s Hill, situated in the West Tamar region produces wines that reflect our unique climate. Our winters are cold summers mild and our site experiences approximately 1150 heat degree days and around 700mm annual rainfall.
The original vines were first planted in 1997 and today we have 7ha under vine of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and a very small amount of Cabernet and Merlot.
