The WildState Range

Dawson James began with a friendship. Peter Dawson and Tim James met in 1976 working at Hardy & Sons, and decades later brought their combined experience, more than 80 vintages between them, to a single vineyard project on the Meadowbank site in the Derwent Valley. The vines here were planted back in 1989, and the pair pick to acid rather than sugar, chasing the same fruit from the same vines every year so the only real variable is the vintage itself. The results consistently rank among the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir the state produces.

Stick to One Corner of the Island

Every region in Tasmania grows something a little differently. Building a bundle around one region, say the Tamar Valley or the East Coast, is a way to really get to know a place, its soil, its climate, its particular way of making Pinot Noir or Riesling. It's less about variety and more about depth.

Get to Know a Variety Properly

Tasmania makes more than one style of Pinot Noir, more than one style of Riesling. Building a bundle around a single variety lets you taste how region, producer and approach can change the same grape into something completely different from bottle to bottle.

Follow One Winemaker's Range

Behind every label is a person making decisions, about the vineyard, the vintage, the style they're going for. Building a bundle around a single producer is a way to taste those decisions side by side and get a real sense of what makes their wine theirs.
