Drews Wines, Tas  23 Merriworth Rd, Tea Tree TAS 7017
One hundred and seventy years ago, George Gunning planted one of Tasmania’s earliest vineyards in the Coal River Valley, 25 minutes north-east of Hobart. Today, the fold of hills around Mount Dismal, The Quoin and Dews Hill in the Tea Tree branch of the valley are emerging as the most concentrated centre of quality small vineyards in the State.One of the largest vineyards in the area is Drew Wines, owned by Robert Drew, whose family has farmed around Tea Tree for more than 100 years. Robert’s grandfather and father were both farming contractors and chaff cutters. He started work as a crane and skidder driver in logging coupes, worked at the Renison Bell zinc mine for a while, sold tractors, became a firewood contractor and, for 10 years, designed and built firewood splitters. In between, he hunted and fished for his supper. Then, in the mid-1980s, Drew had his first ever glass of wine, poured for him at a dinner at Prospect House in Richmond. That was the start.
