Wine Making

Named after the iconic Wineglass Bay on the spectacular Freycinet Peninsula nearby, it is produced from meticulously tended 38 year old vines, all hand pruned and hand harvested. Viticulturally, the aim is to grow a moderate yield of fully ripe, healthy fruit. Our cool climate enables a long, slow ripening season producing remarkable intensity of aroma and flavour plus excellent natural acidity; balance in the fruit.

Our goal in the winery is to harness this fruit purity in such a way that it leaps out of the glass and provides considerable drinking pleasure. This is achieved through gentle handling along with slow fermentation at cool temperatures. To provide an extra dimension of creamy texture and complexity, 40% of this wine was fermented and matured in predominately seasoned. French barriques, with a small percentage of new oak giving the wine subtle structure and length. Texture and complexity is enhanced without obvious oak characters. Being older barrels, the texture and complexity is enhanced without obvious oak characters.

The 2024 season on the east coast of Tasmania saw the return of warmer, drier conditions after three cooler, wetter, La Nina influenced seasons. The winter proceeding the growing season set the scene with mild above average temperatures throughout and close to normal rainfall. Spring and summer continued this warmer than average temperature pattern and low rainfall. Budburst was early as a result and settled flowering conditions provided a return to long-term average yields with perfect, well-formed bunches. Given the extra warmth throughout the season all varieties ripened beautifully and up to three weeks earlier than normal. Fruit quality was exceptional with concentrated flavours and ripe, juicy acidity.

Meet the owners

Freycinet Vineyard has one of the great origin stories in Tasmanian wine. Geoff Bull was a Sydney Morning Herald photographer turned abalone diver before he and his wife Susan settled in Bicheno and, in 1979, planted the first commercial vineyard on Tasmania's East Coast, guided by pioneers like Andrew Pirie and Claudio Alcorso. Still family owned today, with daughter Lindy and her partner Claudio Radenti carrying the winemaking forward, Freycinet remains 100% estate grown, made and bottled, tucked beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay. Traditional techniques, tight-grain French oak, and minimal intervention define a range that's picked up national acclaim for its Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling.

East Coast

About the region

Stretching from St Helens in the north to Bream Creek in the south, Tasmania's East Coast is as breathtaking as it is bountiful. A milder climate than the rest of the state, spectacular coastal scenery, and over 300 hectares under vine make this one of Tasmania's most exciting wine regions. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the stars, but the East Coast also turns out outstanding Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, wines with a freshness and purity that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else.
