"Consistent with our approach at our Tamar Valley location, we are committed to achieving organic certification for the Coal River Valley vineyard over the next three years, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable, high-quality winemaking practices."

The recently acquired vineyard, planted between 2017 and 2019, features a diverse mix of cool-climate varietals, with predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and plantings of Shiraz, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Viognier.

This acquisition is an exciting new chapter for Overstory and Small Wonder, further cementing the company’s position as one of Tasmania’s leading producers of cool-climate wines.
