Description
Bremley Vineyard is the northern most vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. Originally planted with two hectares of Chardonnay in the early 2000s, the property was acquired by James and Vanessa Bresnehan in 2008. Since then they have added Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Gamay to the mix, increasing the vineyard area to its current 13 hectares.
The fruit was sold to other wine producers until a certain point when James and Vanessa were overtaken by the urge to create some iconic single vineyard wines. Teaming up with acclaimed winemakers Justin Bubb and Anna Pooley, the first Bremley wines were released in 2021.
The site itself is unique, with the vineyard laying beneath Gunnings Surgarloaf in a natural amphitheatre protected from brutal summer north-westerly winds. Days during the growing season are long and warm, with the nights being cool due to the distance from moderating ocean influences. Site soils are mainly black cracking clays intermixed with dolerite.
Bremley is operated with a hands-on approach. Both James and Vanessa manage the day to day running of the vineyard, which is based around a sustainable outlook, now and into the future.
About this wine: 100% whole bunch pressed and naturally settled in tank overnight. A selected neutral yeast was chosen to enhance varietal purity and expression. Fermented in 50% in tank and 50% in seasoned oak puncheons, with no new oak used. The wine was matured for nine months on fine lees, building texture and complexity while retaining freshness and vibrancy. Gently filtered, then bottled un-fined and vegan friendly. 13.0 % Alc/Vol.
