Lower Coal River Valley, Tas

The Lower Coal River Valley Wine District includes the areas in the Coal River Valley catchments downstream of Richmond and the areas close to Richmond, Cambridge, Risdon Vale. The Coal River catchment is located in a relatively dry area of Tasmania with an average annual rainfall increasing from 520 mm at Hobart Airport to 630 mm further inland at Colebrook. While east coast low pressure systems tend to produce more rain from October to December, monthly rainfall figures are relatively uniform in the 40 - 60 mm range. The recent development of the South East Irrigation Scheme has enabled farmers to diversify into a range of other more intensive irrigated cropping activities, previously prevented by the low annual rainfall. Nevertheless, limitations in the availability of irrigation water mean that dryland cropping and grazing dominate. The famous Domaine A Stoney Vineyard, was the first in the region, established in the property of George Park in 1973. In 1988 Ruth and Peter Althaus purchased the property. Their first wines were produced in 1993.

The Coal River Valley Wine Region includes three districts : Coal River Lower ; Coal River Upper ; Tea Tree

Winstead Vineyard, Tas  75 Winstead Rd, Bagdad TAS 7030
Neil Snare - owner, viticulturist and winemaker at Winstead vineyards in Bagdad (Southern Midlands) - is an early participant in the Tasmanian wine scene, planting his first vines in 1989. We produces 2 distinct Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs. The "Lot 7" from our original plantings on the home block is a robust wine, with dark chocolate, plum, tobacco and cinnamon characters. Our "Lot 16" is from a newly planted vineyard a little further up the hill from the latest clones of Pinot to come into the country (114, 115 predominant). This wine is more delicate with forest floor, strawberry and nutmeg characters. The palate is zippy and fresh, with a firm dry finish. Our whites are made using European influences to enhance the texture and mouthfeel. The ferments are long and slow, with the wines left on lees for several months adding a creaminess to their texture. The Sauvignon is barrel fermented to add to its complexity. All Winstead wines have a formidable history of ageing well.
