Bream Creek Vineyard

Bream Creek Vineyard

(1 products)

Planted in 1974 on Tasmania’s east coast, our vineyard at Bream Creek is one of the state’s oldest.

The original 5 hectares consisted mainly of Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.

The vineyard was purchased by Fred Peacock in August 1990, who increased Pinot Noir plantings and introduced Sauvignon Blanc and Schonburger (one of the earliest commercial plantings in the Southern Hemisphere of this rare German varietal).

With Fred's trademark dedication and passion, this pristine vineyard is now a showcase of grape varieties ideally suited to the cool maritime climate of East coast Tasmania.

The vineyard is planted on a north-east ridge overlooking Marion Bay and the Tasman Sea on Tasmania’s east coast.

This combination of a gently sloping site, coastal location and maritime influence provides optimal ripening conditions for premium quality grapes. The long, mild seasons feature cool frost free springs, long sunny summer days with gentle sea breezes to moderate the summer heat and an extended autumn ripening period to enhance flavour development.

The surrounding topography and forest offer a natural windbreak from the strong, cold winds.

Soils are deep and range from brown to black clay loams with a little small stone on the higher ground.

Particular attention has been made to match varieties to the different range of soil types within the vineyard.

All vines are vertical-shoot positioned, with most of the management, including pruning and picking, done by hand.

With both small berries and quite small bunches, the very modest yields enhance the typical varietal characters – perfect for truly cool climate winemaking.
