Bream Creek Vineyard is planted on a northeast ridge above Marion Bay on the edge of the Tasman Sea. This gently sloping site, coastal location and maritime influence, create a highly favourable microclimate. Bream Creek wines are hand crafted to capitalise on the stunning flavours that originate from predominantly old vines. The wines are ripe and ready upon release but are built to age. The Pinot Noir in particular is crafted to the most traditional methods, inoculated by wild ferments. These techniques retain delicate flavours with multiple dimensions, palate weight and structure. Bream Creek was matured in a combination of carefully selected new and prior use French oak barriques.

Illustrious Pinot Noir grown to older vines at the lower latitudes of Tasmania's southeast. The idyllic growing conditions deliver outstanding grapes which are vinified by an artisanal team into an elegant, velvety Pinot wine with alluring aromatics and a profound cool climate palate.

Located to the east of Hobart near Marion Bay, Bream Creek, established 1972, is one of Australia’s southernmost vineyards. It produces wines of a finely sculpted, delicate style, dictated by the truly cool growing climate! Chris Shanahan

Bright crimson red. Complex spicy, dark berry fruit and floral aromas, mingle with subtle oak, earth and glace cherry. The palate is seamless and well structured with layers of finely textured flavours. Combined with a touch of forest floor, fine tannins build to great length with a nice firm subtle finish. Have this magnificently versatile, food oriented Pinot wine with meats, salmon or game.

Just released, this is an elegant yet powerful and intense wine with a complex bouquet of white pepper, spicy dark cherry and briars. The palate is well structured, and shows very good fruit depth and intensity with good length and attractive powdery tannins. Still showing the firmness of youth, so responds very well to several hours breathing and being brought to room temperature. Excellent cellar potential.

Quite rich and ripe, there's always a lot on offer in the Bream Creek pinot's; they've proven their ability to age reliably too. The nose carries a wealth of deep cherry fruit aromas, saffron, pouch tobacco, beetroot and sweet, earth aromas, blood plums and spiced plum pudding. The palate's fleshy, more in the dark-plum spectrum; ripe but fine tannins run the entire length and are poised to deliver years of drinking enjoyment. Builds to a big, juicy finish.
