SOUTHERN TASMANIAN OPEN WEEKEND MARCH 1&2 

Welcome to weekend of wine 

GRAEME 

PHILLIPS 

Wine 

AS Tasmania’s tourism sector booms, 

so too does the wine industry, with 

new vineyards, cellar doors and cellar 

door eateries opening and increased 

vineyard visitations and investment. 

Here’s an extract from a recent article 

in the influential US business 

magazine, Forbes, written by Cathy 

Huyge titled “Why I Would Personally 

Invest In Vineyards In Tasmania”. 

She writes: “More than 84% of 

Australia’s wine production is considered 

unprofitable, or profitable only 

when combined with other farming or 

tourism-related activities. 

“Another 9% of the time, the profit 

margin is A$300 per ton or less. 

“Pretty slim. Pretty harsh. 

“So why is Tasmania — Australia’s 

cool-climate state — on my short 

mental list of wine regions where, 

given the opportunity, I would personally 

invest? 

“Because Tasmania is practically in 

a world of its own when it comes to 

Australian wine. Taken as an individual 

wine producing region, it is almost 

100% profitable. 

“Plus there are these other statistics 

to consider: 

Unlike other regions of Australia, 

demand for Tasmanian grapes outstrips 

supply. 

“Land is still underpriced relative

Tasmanian wine industry leaders Anna Pooley and her brother Matt from 

Pooley Wines at Richmond. 

to other wine-producing regions in 

Australia. 

“All Tasmanian wine produced is 

in the niche premium wine sector, 

which means a price point of A$15 or 

above. 

“The value per litre of Tasmanian 

wine exported is almost four times the 

For your guide to

please visit 

national average. The bearing area in 

Tasmania is on the rise. 

“ It increases by about 5% every 

year on average, and is 5.7 times greater 

than it was just 20 years ago. Yet viable 

viticultural land in Tasmania — 

over 40,000 hectares — is far from 

fully occupied. 

www.winetasmania.com.au 

“The Weighted Average Price 

(WAP) for Tasmanian pinot noir is 

A$2672 per ton; WAP for pinot noir 

from the Yarra Valley, in contrast, is 

A$1623. WAP Tasmanian Chardonnay 

is A$2564; WAP Yarra Valley 

Chardonnay is A$1474. 

“Tasmania is riding the wave of 

sparkling wine popularity and demand 

globally: over 35% of Tasmania’s 

fruit was made into sparkling 

wine in 2014. That’s a 10% increase 

from the year before.’’ 

Considering that Tasmania’s first 

commercial vineyard was planted 

only 40 years ago, that’s not a bad 

wrap. 

And this Open Vineyards Weekend 

is your opportunity to visit some 

of our oldest and some of our newest 

vineyards. 

As well as tasting a wider range of 

varietal wines and wine styles, ales, 

stout, cider and perries than ever before. 

So, with 52 big, small and pockethandkerchief-sized 

establishments 

opening their doors for your enjoyment, 

it should be an exciting couple 

of days and I encourage readers to get 

out and about, sample a few wines, a 

beer and cider or two, meet and chat 

with the producers and have a safe 

and very enjoyable weekend. 

The 52 vineyards, breweries and cideries 

this year are offering a wider 

range of varietal wines, wine styles, 

ales, stout, cider and perries than ever 

before. 

Plus there are new vineyards, new 

cellar doors and new cellar door eateries 

for your enjoyment 

So it should be an exciting couple 

of days and I encourage readers to get 

out and about, sample a few wines, a 

beer and cider or two, meet and chat 

with the producers and have a safe 

and very enjoyable weekend.
