ORIGINS

Winery: Dalrymple

Region: Tasmania

Tasmania is an island state of Australia, located off the south-east coast of the mainland. It is renowned for its pristine environment, stunning landscapes and its burgeoning wine industry. The first vines were planted in Tasmania in 1822 by the British, but it wasn't until the 1970s that the industry began to take off. Since then, the region has become known for its cool-climate wines, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay being the most widely planted varieties.
