Investment in Tasmania's Wine Industry!

In a most pleasant surprise, the Tasmanian Government has announced its support for the Wine Industry!

The Government will launch a new initiative to support growth in the Tasmanian wine sector, through a $1.2M five year program to assist producers with new plantings. 

Here is the link for their media release

So if there is a chance this comes off, we may have to ramp up our planting program! 

Chardonnay...Pinot Gris...Gruner Veltliner???

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!

Harvest Market Launches Christmas Wine Packs!

Launceston's Harvest Market is launching some Summer wine packs, and we are really thrilled to be included in them!

Winsor's Pick 6 Pack


This summer / Christmas pack includes a Sharmans' 2008 Sparkling and 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, a Humbug Reach 2009 Chardonnay, our One Bunch Chardonnay 2011, a Humbug Reach 2010 Pinot Noir and our gold medal One Bunch Pinot 2011.


Gold Medal 3 Pack


This three pack is exciting because Harvest's three wine producers all won gold medals over the previous few months! Sharmans' 2011 Pinot won a gold and a trophy at the International Cool Climate Wine Show in Mornington Peninsula, the same show where our One Bunch Pinot 2011 won a bronze. Our 2011 then won a gold medal, the only in its class, at Bathurst's National Cool Climate Wine Show. The sister wine to this one won a gold at the Hobart Wine Show under Guy Wagner's Bass Fine Wines label! The third wine is Humbug Reach's stunning 2011 Chardonnay - the only gold in it's class at the Hobart wine show.

We are all really proud of these wines, and I'm sure you'd find them a worthy Christmas to give someone...or give to yourself!

We are pretty excited to see our 2009 OBP has been taken on by a boutique accommodation in Lilydale - The Trig, on Mt Arthur.

Susie and Gordon have created a new eco-friendly place to stay with stunning views over the surrounding region. It is a perfect spot to relax and share a bottle of red.

At the same time, through Susie's work with the Launceston Polytechnic, our 2010 Pinot is being used there at the Bistro, and is featuring as this week's featured wine!
