At our heart we believe in working with the land, nurturing the vines and handpicking the grapes to produce some of the most pure and crisp wines Tasmania has to offer.
But it hasn't always been this way.. as Sydney-siders, in August 2015, on holidays in Tasmania, we fell in love with West Kentish and the beautiful Lake Barrington Vineyard. We said if it snowed on our Tassie holiday, it would be a sign to move here and it snowed all the way down to West Kentish!
We sold our house the next year, packed our belongings and kids in the car and made our way from Sydney to Hobart. On the long voyage across Bass Strait, we noticed the vineyard was for sale! So we did what all aspiring city dwellers looking for a tree change would to do, and bought a vineyard!

After purchasing the vineyard, we realised we weren't just buying some vines on an idyllic parcel of land, rather we were continuing a tradition that had started with the Taylor family in 1984... Many of the residents of West Kentish and neighbouring towns recall working on the vineyard and there are many stories of how the vineyard came to be and the sparkling wine produced.
Hearing these stories and the connection so many people have to the vineyard, we knew this place was special and that we had a responsibility to continue a long running Tasmanian tradition.
