Ninth Island

Location_tag

Tamar Valley, Tasmania

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.
