About Us
Moores Hill Estate Vineyard was established in 1997 on the gentle slopes of the Tamar Valley in Northern Tasmania. This area is characterised by a cool climate, loamy soils and long ripening periods which result in high quality grapes and wines with distinctive flavours.
The first grape harvest was in March 2000, with Pinot and Chardonnay bottled in 2001. In 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Riesling Wines were added to the list of fine wines produced at Moores Hill Estate Vineyard.

Our aim is to make wines of distinction and quality from premium grapes. Our wines are 'fruit driven' styles where quality and flavours of the grapes are expressed in the final quality of the wine. We make no compromises to quality both in the vineyard and in the wine making process.

Our Chardonnay is a barrel fermented style with a full or partial maloactic fermentation to give added complexity. The wine remains in barrels for six to eight months on lees which are stirred regularly to impart a toasty complexity and elegance making it an ideal wine to accompany any of the more robust food styles.

The Pinot Noir is produced from low cropping vines, is hand plunged during primary fermentation and is then matured in new and older French barrels. Once again, this is a fruit driven style, highlighting the primary fruit flavours from the vineyard but with a wonderful balance. Thus making it an ideal food wine whilst young and with good potential to age well for four to eight years.
