Inspired by the tremendous opportunities of the East Coast of Tasmania, Geoff and Susan Bull cleared the site in 1978, planted the first vines in 1979 and established the first commerical winery on the East Coast. They were early pioneers in a new region which years later revealed exciting quality potential in wines. The region now boasts over a dozen different vineyards.
The Freycinet Vineyard and Winery is family owned with daughter Lindy Bull and her partner Claudio Radenti taking over the family tradition of gently handcrafting the wines.
A unique expression of place, this wine is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) complemented by Merlot (25%), all from 25 – 30 year old vines. Deep ruby with a hint of purple, heady aromas of cigar box, cassis and liquorice fill the glass. The supple and harmonious palate melds juicy plums, ripe berries and black currant with licorice, spice, herbs and black olives which are further complemented by attractively integrated savoury oak. Extended maturation in French oak barriques has created fine, silty tannins and a long finish, promising to reward with careful cellaring up to 15 years.
