Huon Valley Wine District

The Huon Valley Wine District includes the southern section of the East Coast of Tasmania, from between Tribunna and Lauderdale. The beautiful Huon Valley, with its maze of hills and valleys intertwined with fingers of ocean, produces surprisingly rich Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. There is a range of wonderful towns and villages in the region including: Port Huon, Ranleagh, Huonville, Cradoc, Galaziers Bay, Petchys Bay, Gardners Bay. Although close to the 50th parallel at which wine-making is supposed to be very difficult, the region produces cool climate grapes that have a depth of unique flavours and local character. The grapes ripen slowly and harvest time is often delayed until April and May. However, with careful site selection close to the river estuaries most vineyards are away from the frosts and winds. The climate of the Huon Valley Region is quite similar to many of Europe's famous wine areas.. The best performing varieties are the Pinots, Chardonnays and Rieslings. The major rural industries of the Huon region are tourism, agriculture, aquaculture and forestry.

The Huon Valley Wine Region is home to 1 district: Huon Valley District ;

Altaness, TAS  10 Haltons Rd, Lymington TAS 7109
Our quest for a cool site to grow Pinot noir and Chardonnay started in 2013 with numerous visits to Tasmania to find the right block of land. We focused exclusively on the Huon Valley region, south of Hobart. We consider the area to have exceptional possibilities to produce elegant wines and pretty styles rather than the broad flavours that attract gleaming medals. We commenced this project while we were living in McLaren Vale (South Australia) making Spanish influenced wines at Cascabel. The vineyard and winery we established in 1997. This pursuit took us two years until we found the right 21 hectares of land in Lymington. A year later, we sold Cascabel and took all our winemaking and vineyard equipment in four shipping containers to start a new chapter of planting a vineyard all over again.

Chatto Vineyard, TAS  68 Dillons Hill Rd, Glaziers Bay TAS 7109
With 25+ years of winemaking experience, Jim Chatto is also a senior wine show judge with over 20 years of experience across both regional, capital city shows and was the Chairman of Judges for the National Wine Show of Australia 2014-2016. In 1998 Jim moved to Tasmania as the inaugural winemaker for Rosevears Estate in the Tamar Valley. He fell in love with Tasmanian Pinot Noir, and a girl called Daisy. In 2000 Jim and Daisy left Tasmania for the Hunter Valley, but began the Chatto label to continue the affair with Tasmanian Pinot Noir. We then spent the next six years searching for the perfect vineyard site. Isle vineyard is located in Huon Valley at Glaziers Bay. Warm, well-drained but in a very cool region, right on the edge of viticultural possibility. Planting began in 2007 and our first vintage (2012) was released in 2013.

Elsewhere Vineyard, TAS  584 Silver Hill Rd, Glaziers Bay TAS 7109
Elsewhere Vineyard overlooks the stunning Huon River at a latitude of just over 43º S. It is one of the most southerly vineyards in Australia, which makes an ideal environment for growing cool climate grapes with the long ripening periods allowing maximum flavour development. Elsewhere had been an award winning Vineyard but was in slow decline for many years. In desperate need for attention, we found the place in 2015 and fell in love. What a task we began, remediating and developing the almost 80 acres with a view not only to improving the 30 acres utilised for viticulture, but creating a sustainable and symbiotic farm. Everything will have a purpose, and everything will compliment one another to satisfy the needs of the wine, the property and us. Thank you for joining us on our journey to produce wines of exceptional quality.
