Apsley Gorge
Apsley Gorge is the work of Brian Franklin, a former abalone diver and lobster fisherman who planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near Bicheno in the early 1990s. Brian took over winemaking in 1999 and has spent every vintage since travelling to Burgundy to work alongside Philippe Charlopin and, more recently, Charlopin's son Yann. That French technique meets an unusually cool microclimate at the entrance to Apsley Gorge, one of the last sites in Tasmania to harvest each year, resulting in Pinot Noir of real depth and restraint. The winery itself sits in an old fish processing factory overlooking Bicheno's Gulch, one of the more spectacular settings of any winery in the country.

Just bottled, this Pinot Noir shows pure fruit on the nose with complexity from natural yeast fermentation. Expect it to develop beautifully in bottle, revealing the signature character Apsley Gorge is known for. On the palate, elegance and sophistication shine through, the kind of refinement you'd find in fine Cru Burgundy. Bright, persistent fruit meets textured tannins that promise longevity. The wine carries an intriguing richness through the mouth feel and into a lingering finish. A standout vintage in the making.
Apsley Gorge's Chardonnay is a wine that doesn't need to announce itself it simply delivers. A clean, pure varietal nose hints at the richness to come, with subtle French oak and a textured mouthfeel that lingers beautifully. Purity, expression, and complexity in every sip. From one of Tasmania's most quietly impressive East Coast producers. Pair with fresh crayfish, scallops, or pan-seared fish. Drink now through 2031.

Every glass, a different Tasmania
Cool nights, mineral soils, and a climate winemakers elsewhere would kill for. It's why Tasmanian wine tastes the way it does, and why one variety here can taste nothing like the same variety made anywhere else.
Made in small batches, on purpose
These aren't wines built for supermarket shelves. Most come from producers making a few hundred cases a year, which means what's in stock now might not be again.
Pick a style, not just a label
Whatever you're drawn to, there's a Tasmanian producer doing it well. Explore the range and find the version that's yours.
