Domain Danielle, Tas 130 Forest Rd Granton Tasmania 7030
There are only a few regions in the world that provide the ideal terroir for Pinot Noir. For us, Tasmania is the new frontier. Having relocated with the family to Tasmania in late 2008 with desirable site prerequisites set in stone, the canvas of Domaine Dawnelle was discovered in less than two years. Be it ‘chance’ or ‘the right place at the right time’, a late evening prospect in the Granton Heights revealed a plethora of riches so perfectly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Domaine Dawnelle is named in honour of Michael’s late grandmother and rice farm in country New South Wales where he spent much of his childhood.

Stefano Lubiana, Tas 60 Rowbottoms Road, Granton 7030
Our much sought-after wines are the result of a passionate unrelenting quest for perfection. This passion, along with free thinking and attention to detail create wines which reflect this vision. Our focus on traditional and biodynamic principals has only strengthened our desire to create wines that have a unique and distinctive character, free flowing elegance and quality. We have been cultivating our vines under biodynamic conditions since 2010 (Tasmania’s first and only) which means that the wines are free of all synthetic treatments, additives and pesticides. Instead we travel the alternative path, stepping back in time and using cosmic rhythms to ensure correct soil tilling and recuperation as well as effective vine care through all phases of the year’s seasonal cycles.
