Australia’s most southern state, the island of Tasmania is home to the pristine coastlines including the Freycinet Coast.

Mild summers, chilly winters, sheltered slopes and significant elevations, create conditions similar to those of central Europe, so it’s no surprise that the low-volume, high-quality wines of the region also include Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris.
