Nestled on the Derwent River, Cornelian Bay is where Helen, mother of Trent and Amelia grew up overlooking the cool Tasmanian waters. As a proud Tasmanian, Helen always wanted to produce wines from her home state to honour her heritage. This wine is a reminder of the importance of family and the special bond between the Burge family and Tasmania.
Sourced from the Coal River Valley region where the cool climate terrior produces classic and prestigous Pinot Noir.
