Aromas of tropical fruit on the bouquet with green pineapple and passionfruit on the palate. This wine is made in a "drink now" style and is a unique wine to the region. Iron Pot Bay is one of only a hand full of vineyards that grow and blend Semillon in Tasmania. Match this wine with some fresh Tasmanian scallops with a green salad.

| Vineyard_Info | Iron pot bay vineyard was established in 1988 by Roderick Cuthbert and Kyra Hinman, and is situated in the picturesque Tamar Valley region of Tasmania about 24 nautical miles downstream from Launceston. A low altitude area ideally suited to wine production, it has a cool climate, mild and extended growing seasons. The nearby Tamar River exerts a moderating influence on the climate. Five hectares of vines grow on a modified lyre trellis system which is difficult to manage but produces prolific fruit. The vineyard climate measures approximately 1150 degree days. The soil is loam over clay and the vineyard is irrigated by drip line.
