Brook Eden Vineyard

The Brook Eden vineyard is sited along a ridge of deep, free-draining basalt soil on a small, North and East facing hill in the Pipers Brook region of North East Tasmania. We have four vineyard blocks that total 3Ha of closely-planted vines. Three blocks were planted in 1988 by John and Sheila Bezemer with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, and on block planted late 2014 by Annette and Ed Ferrero with Pinot Noir and Lagrein. All vines are planted on own roots, but for the curious single row of Semillon, planted by the original owners (presumably as a trial) which has been grafted over to Pinot Noir clone D5V12. Our Chardonnay is 8127, but expresses itself quite differently, on the more vigorous, higher RAW value soils of the Bottom block, than on the Top block near the cellar door
