Description

Awarded among the Top 10 Cellar Doors of Australia – Josef Chromy Wines is located just 15 mins from Launceston CBD and 10 mins from Launceston Airport.

The Josef Chromy Cellar Door Restaurant and Winery is located at Relbia, 10 minutes from the Launceston Airport and 15 minutes from Launceston CBD in northern Tasmania.

Josef Chromy Wines’ 61-hectare (150 acre) vineyard produces a number of varieties of highly sought-after grapes, carefully crafted in our on-site winery. Wines include Sparklings, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris.

Nestled on the banks of The Derwent River 20 minutes north of Hobart, the vineyard has the perfect aspect for the production of cool climate wine grapes. Made in our purpose built Straw Bale winery, which is ecofriendly, these award winning wines include 5 different varietals from 10.75 hectares of calcareous soil.

Josef Chromy Wines has a state-of-the-art winery at the base of the vineyard at Relbia, just south of Launceston. The modern and minimalist exterior provides a home for some of the best winemaking equipment available. Fruit reception begins with a vibrating hopper that gently shakes the grapes into the destemmer. The grapes are pumped gently into the press through a peristaltic pump, using the same technology that transfers live fish or pumps blood during heart bypass surgery. 

A high-tech German press enables juice extraction at low pressures, giving more delicate aromatic juices.  All Pinot Noir is fermented in small batch open top fermenters and a pneumatic plunging device, co-developed by Josef, is used to gently plunge the cap and manage the extraction of colour and tannin during the fermentation. All the equipment and processes in the winery are designed to respect the delicate varietal flavours of the high quality, cool-climate Tasmanian fruit.

Rich in calcium, lime and loam, the vineyard is herbicide free and transitioning towards organic practices. Cellar Door is a heritage listed 1820 Limestone cottage, operating 10am until 5pm for lunch, 7 days a week and providing one of the true unique Tasmanian Cellar Door experiences.
