Heirloom Vineyards were born of love. A romance between an esteemed wine judge and his protege, consumated by a shared passion to preserve the integrity of venerable old vineyards. A deference for the sanctity of the soil and adherence to the timeless procedures of organic viticulture, were an integral part of the vision. Their parching quest, to secure some grand old blocks of vine in the elder precincts of Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, Barossa and Valley Eden, were followed by years of corrective husbandry, pencil label releases and bespoke vintages. The fostered old vines have now been resurrected, yielding treasured harvests of the most sublime new world wine.

Pinot Gris ripens quickly in all but the coolest of climates, it's ideally suited to the temperate Tasmanian season. Crop levels are kept low by selective bunch thinning to maximize intensity of flavour. Grapes are hand harvested throughout the chill of early morning. Fruit is crushed and immediately processed, the philosophy being to capture and retain the delectable characters of Pinot Gris while still on the vine. Parcels are pressed and treated to a short period of skin contact, extracting additional flavours which are locked away in the skins, this creates a more complex, rich and savoury style of Pinot Gris. Juices are slowly vinified at lower temperatures in a mix of barrel and fermenters, followed by early bottling.
Copper straw hue. Complex bouquet with a lovely depth of aroma, blooming with fragrant pear, jonagold apple, tangelo zest and goji berries. Jasmine and potpourri, subtle nutmeg notes. The palate is generous, full bodied and dry, poached pear flavours, strudels and paw paw, ginger and cinnamon spice, finishing with a fine chalky, mineral dryness.

Pipers Brook Vineyard is strongly vertically integrated with an acquired depth of skills in site selection, vineyard development and management, winemaking, bottling and marketing. Pipers Brook Estate's vineyards are distributed around the north coast of Tasmania, on the western banks of the scenic Tamar River slightly north of Launceston, as well as within the Pipers Brook and Pipers River regions.

Climatically each vineyard site is different from the next. Its the subtle differences in climatic conditions between sites and between vines that becomes part of the complex answer to the production of cool climate wines of the highest quality for which the winemakers strive to produce. Vineyards along the banks of the Tamar river are located inland, slightly less exposed to the prevailing NW winds blowing off Bass Straight which create temperature cooling effects.

As a consequence grapes generally mature some 10 days earlier with slightly higher yields from the Tamar river vineyards. This increases ripening potential and creates a useful spread of harvesting and processing times. These vineyards provide quality and quantity as well as being ideally suited to the production of later ripening varieties such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.

The cooler climatic conditions experienced by the more coastal Pipers Brook and Pipers River regions create a perfect environment for the production of sparkling wines due to the fruits retention of naturally high acidity, lower sugar accumulation yet early flavour ripeness. Let the fruit hang on the vines a little longer and the premium table wine production of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling begins.

Vines like deep porous soils and the best wines are produced where a deep-rooted vine is neither under or over supplied with moisture. Pipers Brook Vineyard have selected the ferrosol or kraznozems of northern Tasmania for their best vineyards because the soils are deep, well drained and with ideal moisture characteristics. Although the red colour makes them look rich, in their native state they are quite poor being quite deficient in phosphorous, zinc and boron.

The red soils at Pipers Brook vineyard are classed as kraznozems; they are deep and friable soils derived from volcanic parent and share some physical characteristics with terra rossa soils. Wine exhibits the 'gout de terroir' or specific taste of the site when they exhibit a repeatable character unique to the region and even vineyard.

Tasmanian wines are unique. The sparkling wines, rieslings, pinot noirs, sauvignon blancs, chardonnays are developing a character which is individual to the region. Pipers Brook Vineyard produce genuine expressions of the Tasmanian wine character based on the impact of the terroir. The strength of their commitment is such as to include this word in the vision statement.
