Delamere Vineyard

Shane Holloway and Fran Austin hand-manage 12 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on steep ironstone Ferrosol soils in Pipers Brook, pruning and picking every vine themselves. Planted at 7,500 vines per hectare with fruiting wires just 60 centimetres off the ground, the site's low diurnal range and Bass Strait influence make the case for why Tasmania keeps producing some of Australia's finest sparkling and still wines.
