Brook Eden Vineyard in north-east Tasmania produces exquisite, cool-climate still and sparkling wines. Established in 1988 on the banks of Pipers Brook, Brook Eden is nestled in a picturesque valley of rolling green hills. The vineyards are sited along an ancient ridge of deep, gravelly, well-drained, volcanic soil, with Pipers Brook on one side and a spring-fed, native wetland on the other.
At 41º south, and the start of the famed roaring forties, Brook Eden is true cool-climate viticulture. With more sunshine hours per day in summer than on the mainland and the cool, sometimes wind-swept site, the old, well-established, unirrigated vines must struggle a little. They slowly ripen their fruit during a growing season, which is one of the longest in Australia.
This long slow ripening produces fruit with exceptional flavour and aroma and an ideal balance of sugar and acid. This results in elegant, aromatic wines with intense varietal flavours and distinct regional characteristics.
You can taste the award-winning Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a lively Pinot Rosé from the cellar door.
