Delamere Vineyards

Delamere is a true Tasmanian Grower Producer. 100% Family owned and run, 100% grown, made and bottled at our Pipers River Estate. Join us on this journey to unlock the inherent beauty of our site, as we encapsulate the story of each season in our wine.

The vineyard was planted at 7500 vines per hectare and has a cane-pruned, vertical shoot position trellis system, with a very low fruiting wire at 60cm off the ground. The low yield per vine and the reflective heat from the ground produces wines with superior depth of flavour and ripe, well-developed tannins. Vine age and subsequent natural balance are key factors in the consistent production of wines with great structure and harmony.

The region of Pipers River in the north east of Tasmania enjoys a significant climatic advantage that is unique in Australia; that of a very low diurnal range. This temperature stability is born from a unique set of geographical features. The waters of Bass Strait cool the hot northerly winds, while the cool southerlies gain heat as they cross the island. Cool temperatures and significant sunshine hours make for ideal conditions to retain delicate aromas in our fruit. The frosty and sometimes wild conditions of winter give way to clear, crisp, blue-sky days through the growing season, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, assuring the lingering acidity essential to producing premium cool climate wines.

For most, the more we understand a wine, the deeper our enjoyment of it becomes. And one of the best ways to learn more about a wine is to compare it to others. At Delamere we have created our ‘Tasting Flights’ to share this experience with you. Each offers a 35mL sample of 4 different wines. We hope you enjoy tasting and learning about our wines as much as we enjoy making them.

Collaborating with a local chef we showcase produce from: Bay of Fires Cheese, Casalinga Gourmet Meats, Coal River Farm and more. The emphasis is on seasonal produce that suits a picnicker’s palate. Food can be enjoyed on-site and/or taken with you on your journey. And best of all, there is no need to pack your picnic paraphernalia — we have that all covered!

Bookings are strongly advised for all Cellar Door visits, and bookings are essential for groups of four or more. Walk-ins may be accommodated, subject to availability. Please book through the Delamere website.
