TorchBearer is making wines on the land of the Mumirimina people of the nipaluna Nation, where our vines have been planted since 1993. We acknowledge the ongoing effects of colonisation and how it changes the soil, the environment, and in turn the foods and wines we eat today. We pay our respects to the elders past and present, it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
Serious wine lovers may want to know why torchbearer wines are relevant today? Because everything we do and everything we represent we go against the current establishments with our basis of more compassion. For not doing so will hinder the adaptability to change and progress. At ‘ese vineyard we want to recreate permaculture at the same time respect the individuality of the site, its terroir and the climate of the Island in order to achieve a wine of purity, delicious, and full of flavours.
What is one word that describe our wines unique character? It’s Purity- we aspire to make the purest wines in the world from our virgin soil, clean air and pure water of Tasmania. Tasmania as an island is the wonderland of natural world - the most pristine environment on earth, the last frontier where we can cultivate and enjoy the essence of life with compassion and harmony on Earth. Hence, the wines we craft are the ones we treasure, and that we hope people will keep for a long time in their cellars for years and decades to come i.e., suggested as a good way to keep and appreciate our yearly record of this brief life on Earth.
We believe in our mission of connecting local artisan wine growers to the global conscious consumers under one community - the torchbearers, because we believe that fine foods and wines can connect us all in harmony, peace, and happiness. So please join us in this journey of wine discovery and become a torchbearer: it's not where you live it's how you live - live extraordinarily, be cheerful and enjoy life!
And don’t forget to show us your life moment and story by using our community hashtags #xlife and #torchbearerwine
All the best wishes from the Torch Bearer Wine team!
