Wine Making

Fruit was picked on the 9th April and whole bunch pressed to stainless steel for settling overnight. The juice was then racked straight to 3 oak barrels, one new, and allowed to ferment naturally. Fermented to dryness, with 2 barrels stabilised with minimal SO2 while the 3rd barrel was left over winter to complete malolactic fermentation in spring. Racked out of barrel on 31/12/25, minimal filtering and sulfur added. Bottled on the 11/1/26. 826 bottles produced

Meet the owners

Rush Wines is the very personal project of Sam Rush, who swapped a forensic chemistry degree for a life in vineyards after a few years working in hospitality sparked his interest in wine. After honing his craft in the Hunter Valley and then across some of Tasmania's most respected producers, including Delamere and Stefano Lubiana, Sam launched his own label in the Tamar Valley in 2021. Made with minimal intervention and no cellar door in sight, Rush wines are sold online and around Launceston, made by a Rush, not in a rush.

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.
