Bream Creek
This 7.5ha vineyard at Marion Bay in the south-east of Tasmania was originally planted in 1973, making it one of the oldest commercial vineyards on the island.
The history of Marion Bay however goes all the way back to 1642 when Abel Tasman’s expedition made their first landing in Tasmania. More recently, Fred Peacock has expanded the Pinot Noir plantings, introduced Sauvignon Blanc and pioneered Schönburger in the southern hemisphere.
Tasting Note
Bream Creek Schönburger
Virtually unique in Australia, this beautifully aromatic variety from northern Europe is Pinot Noir crossed with Chasselas Rose x Muscat Hamburg. Its Pinot mother makes it highly suitable to Tasmania’s cool conditions.
Enchanting aromas of rose-petal, quince and lavender but still fresh and clean. The fruit and floral characters are kept in balance on the palate with some fresh acidity, a hint of sweetness and a dusting of light tannin.
Amazingly versatile variety which never dominates flavours – try some sushi and don’t be shy with the wasabi!
