Wine Making

Riesling grapes were picked at optimal ripeness in early April from Block 9 of the Josef Chromy Relbia Vineyard.

The grapes were gently pressed under CO2 cover to help preserve delicate aroma compounds. The free run juice was highly clarified to further support the pristine aromatic profile of the finished wine.

A cool fermentation took place thereafter in a stainless steel tank, lasting about two weeks and monitored daily. Upon completion, the wine was left to settle, before being racked off its gross lees and allowed to further develop for several months before bottling.

Meet the owners

Josef Chromy's story is one of the most remarkable in Australian wine. He fled Czechoslovakia in 1950 as a penniless 19-year-old, eventually settling in Tasmania and building a butchery empire before turning to wine in his sixties. After developing and selling brands including Jansz, Heemskerk and Tamar Ridge, Josef launched his namesake winery in 2007, aged 76, at the Relbia property just south of Launceston. In just four years the estate picked up 14 trophies and 170 medals, and the 2011 Chardonnay was named Best Chardonnay in the World at the Decanter World Wine Awards. Josef passed the business on in 2022, but the estate continues producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wine true to his cool climate philosophy.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
