The Ninth Island vineyard is one of Tasmania’s most spectacular vineyard sites, set in the beautiful Tamar Valley, with mountain backdrops and avenues of 100 year old oak trees on the banks of kanamaluka/the Tamar river. The manicured vineyard enjoys both the morning and afternoon sun as well as black cracking clay soils which offer a steady supply of moisture and nourishment to the vines.
Mulberry, black cherry and earthy notes with hints of licorice. Abundant berry fruits with subtle spice and soft, silky tannins.
Juicy strawberries, pomegranate, and ripe watermelon, held together with fresh cool climate acidity. Very moreish, seamless balance and enticing texture in this dry style rosé.
Delicate white stone fruit, citrus and hints of lychee. Enticing acidity with white quartz minerality.
Fresh and expressive palate of tropical fruits and citrus with lively acidity, perfect for any occasion.
Fresh juicy citrus flavours of meyer lemon and lime with fine natural acidity and delicate minerality. Seamless balance, mouth-watering tension, and lasting intensity.
Bright and refreshing, this wine is full of citrus zest, vanilla and white flowers. Unashamedly Tasmanian, it is delicate yet complex.
Our close-knit team in the winery is led by Chief Winemaker Luke Whittle. Luke's career in wine began in New Zealand, working part-time in a West Auckland winery in 2007 while completing a degree in Wine Science at the University of Auckland. After several vintages in New Zealand, Luke made the move to Central Victoria to work with the Balgownie Estate in 2011.
Having gained experience in vintage wine making in Canada and Germany, Luke was drawn to Pipers Brook and Tasmania for vintage 2015 to pursue an ever-growing passion for cool climate wines. Luke returned in 2016 and was appointed as Senior Winemaker with Pipers Brook Vineyard. In 2019, Luke was appointed Chief Winemaker and oversees the portfolio of wines for Kreglinger Wine Estates.
Viticulturist and vineyard manager Luciano Caravia joined the team in late 2021 and brings with him over 16 years of industry experience, not to mention a Bachelor of Agriculture and a PhD in vine physiology under heat stress. His journey in viticulture has brought him all the way from the Casablanca Valley Chile, to South Australia and now to the Tamar Valley Tasmania where he's proud to lead our vineyard team.
He's passionate about the ever changing challenges that each vintage here in Tasmania presents, and how every step in the vineyard plays a part in the resulting wine.
