White peaches and nectarines provide a fruit forward entry. There are some aromatics of jasmine flowers that are complimented by some lightly spiced vanillin oak, with a hint of coconut, fine herbs and cumquat which leads to a lengthy finish. Ideally matched with a young brie cheese, cooked Tiger Prawns or pork cutlets with a creamy sauce.

About Bremley Vineyard
Bremley Vineyard is the northern most vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley.
Originally planted with 2 hectares of Chardonnay in the early 2000’s, the current custodians, James and Vanessa Bresnehan, have added Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Gamay to the mix.
Since purchasing the property in 2008, James and Vanessa have developed Vineyard area to its current 13Ha. Fruit had always been predominantly sold to other wine producers until the urge to create some iconic single vineyard wines presented itself. Having joined forces with famed winemakers Justin Bubb and Anna Pooley, the vision became reality.
The site itself is unique, with the vineyard laying beneath Gunnings Surgarloaf in a natural amphitheater 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.
