Festivale 2013 is here!!! And Harvest has its FIRST birthday!

It's back!
Launceston's Festivale 2013 has arrived, and it is celebrating its 25th birthday!

Not only that, Harvest is Turning ONE!

This is also the official launch of our 2012 One Bunch Riesling!

To make the most of the event, we have put up some promotions to brighten everyone's day!

Every bottle of wine sold at Festivale or Harvest Market on Saturday will earn a ticket into a draw to win a 4-pack of Plumm Red or White glasses!

Every new Like we get on Facebook, and new follower on Twitter from the weekend will go in the draw for a bottle of 2012 Riesling! Of course, all our current buddies and followers are already in the draw!

On top of that, our 2010 Pinot noir and 2011 Chardonnay will both be available at 25% off through our website until the end of March!

We are at both Festivale (stall 23), and Harvest (our usual corner), so come and say hi to us!

We're In! Festivale 2013

Gryphonwood is going back to Launceston's Festivale in Feb 2013!
We will have five wines to share! Check out some of our pics from 2012 to see the sort of fun to expect, and we'll see you there!

OBP2010 at Jailhouse Grill

Something I have said to myself for a while now is why haven't we opened any avenues with restaurants in our own home town?

Well, I am very happy to see our OBP2010 being taken on by Launceston's Jailhouse Grill! 

The Jailhouse is a place I love - great atmosphere, fantastic people, a surprisingly excellent winelist, and some of the best steak I have enjoyed (I make sure Josh Hammersley is on the grill when I go). The menu has a great variety of dishes.

If there is anywhere that our 2010 Pinot is going to feel at home, it is in a steakhouse!

When you are in Launceston, make sure you visit the Jailhouse Grill! 

(I suggest you get a group together and book the private room!)

Gryphonwood now available through Alps & Amici!

It was a pleasant surprise for us (at Harvest last Saturday) to be visited by Anna Martin from Alps & Amici, a fantastic foodstore in East Launceston. Anna had taken home some wine the weekend previously, and it was great to get good feedback from her.

So, Gryphonwood's Once Bunch Chardonnay 2011, and One Bunch Pinot 2010 are now available from Alps & Amici!

Go and check out this awesome store for yourself!

Come and see us at Harvest Market

Gryphonwood will have a stall at Launceston's Harvest Market this Saturday and the next! The Market is loaded with fantastic foods (and of course wine!), so come down and say hi.

We will have all our wines there this weekend, including a special pre-release tasting of our lovely 2011 Pinot Noir!

See you there!

Festivale 2012

Festivale is done for 2012, and what an experience!

A combination of rain, bright sunshine, big crowds, Daryl Braithwaite, big fat Slim Chefs and a glowing technicolour Polar Bear made for a memorable weekend of fun, wine and good food.

Gryphonwood's first public outing was an eye opener, with a lot of people coming to see us as the new kids on the block. It was a surprise to be announced runners-up for Best New Stall!

I have to offer a big thanks to the many people who helped us get there - you are too many to list, but are remembered nonetheless.

The wines were well received, and our Wine Matched Sampler Platter was a hit. The local produce was stunning.

Check out our website for more pics. In the meantime, have a technicolour Polar Bear!

Festivale 2012

Gryphonwood is going to Launceston's Festivale in 2012!

Festivale is the Tasmanian north's premier Wine and food festivale, and will see tens of thousands of festival goers enjoy the local food, drinks and entertainment, all set in the stunning Launceston City Park.

Stay tuned for more info!
