Pipers River & Tamar Valley | Tasmania
It is a little known fact that Tasmania is the oldest wine producing region in Australia. Pipers River is Tasmania’s northernmost wine region, with the river flowing from Mount Arthur northwards into the Bass Strait, with the more fertile Tamar Valley neighbouring it to the west. Pipers River is often grouped in with Tamar Valley – nevertheless, Tasmanian wine connoisseurs hold the Pipers River name independently in high regard.
The climate here is a huge factor in the quality of the wines and Pipers River has high sunshine hours, making it excellent for viticulture. Cool winds from the Bass Strait keep temperatures moderated in the sunny vineyards, providing a long, reasonably cool growing season that ensures that the grapes retain their acidity as they ripen.
Alejandro Wines
Our premium offering of alternate varietals, Alejandro wines are inspired by the sun-beaten soils of Southern Spain. The varieties grown for Alejandro such as Monastral, Tinto and Saperavi adapt exceptionally well to the climate of the Murray Darling which mirrors that of their ancestral homes. Dark and fruit-driven, Alejandro wines are the perfect companions for all things tapas.
