Tasmania is  a remarkable place to grow grapes,so in early 2011 we set off for a look and ended up buying a vineyard. The Tolpuddle Vineyard in the Coal River Calley was planted in 1988.

This higher altitude, with its (one to two weeks) later ripening pattern, results in more distinctive varieta...

Like all Torbreck wines it's sour...
