Resolution Vineyard

Middleton, Tasmania

The rest is over, let's prune!

Waking up to winter mornings like this at Resolution Vineyard is energising for the work day ahead. 

So we have had our rest after Harvest;

Waited for the leaves to fall;

Settled back into full time work;

Fixed up more of the fencing to keep the wallaby's out and the children in;

Picked and ordered a wood heater to warm our bones (can't wait to actually get it installed!);

And we are now halfway into pruning for 2018 thanks to our main supporters.  The thinning out process has been completed and it's now time to tie down and tidy up. 

Even the littlest family member is keeping an eagle eye on the workers and the fairy wrens, which doubles as good practice for learning to walk.

Harvest Family 2018

Harvest day has come and gone for 2018 and it was splendid with gorgeous weather, a fine bunch of pickers and lots of little pickers in the making.. 

This day would not happen without the assistance and support of everyone who volunteered their time to  remove nets, pick grapes, collect buckets, fill bins and bake fresh scones (scones are very important on picking day).. We are forever grateful, thank you!

Now we wait patiently whilst magic happens in the barrels.

Harvest day, best spent with good friends and family.

A fabulous Open Wine Weekend 2018

Open Wine weekend has come to an end for 2018. The weather was magnificent, the company exceptional and the feedback on the 2017 Pinot Noir very positive for such a young wine.

It was lovely to see familiar faces from last year and to also meet a number of new friends visiting for the first time. If you didn’t make it down the channel this year make sure you put it in your calendar for the 1st weekend in March 2018. Red Sails just over the road also had beautiful ciders and even newly released 2013 Pinot for tasting and sales.

We also managed to get the nets on and secured over Sunday and Monday with the amazing help of our family. The birds won't be happy.

Thank you to everyone who made it down to enjoy the wine, views and Grandma's cooking. We would love to see you again next year. Cheers.

BRONZE MEDAL

Resolution Vineyards 2016 Pinot Noir has received a Bronze medal at the 28th Tasmanian Wine Show held in Launceston 15-19th January 2018.  

This medal is a reflection of the hard work, dedication and commitment of Peter and family over the past 14 years.  Peter’s high standards and nurturing of the vines at Resolution Vineyard has once again produced an award winning Pinot Noir.  At Christmas 2016 Peter and his family tasted this batch straight from the barrel and agreed it had great potential, a statement now proven with a bronze medal.

Thank you also to the expert wine making skills of Alain Rousseau and the team at Frogmore Creek for helping to create a much loved wine.

This is a fantastic way to celebrate the changing of the guard for Peter and his family. Congratulations!! 

The 2016 Vintage won’t last long so grab yours today.

Congratulations to Home Hill who received the top award for Best Pinot Noir 2016- Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir.

Middleton Fair

The Middleton Fair last weekend was a fantastic family day out with lots to see, do, eat and drink. We hope everyone who made it down for the day enjoyed it as much as we did.

Pinot Peter may not have been awarded a people's choice award medal at the but he's a winner to us.  He bought family and friends together for a day of rainy fun in the shed, designing, head scratching problem solving, decorating, drilling and laughing.  Peter visited the vineyard last week so we snapped a picture of them together. As described by Peter himself, there is a 'striking resemblance'!

The standard and design of the Scarecrows adorning the Channel Highway from Woodbridge to Gordon are outstanding.  The Scarecrows are still up for about another week.  Don't miss out, jump in the car and go and explore this piece of paradise right on your doorstep!

Pinot Peter

Pinot Peter has made his debut on the Channel Highway opposite the road to Resolution Vineyard- Sunny Banks Road, Middleton. So far he is very happy there and has already had admirers stop for an quick photo and autograph.
 
Pinot Peter has been hard at work crushing the Resolution Pinot grapes with his bare feet, having a lot of fun but making quite a mess of it.
 
Pinot Peter was inspired by our friend and mentor Peter Brown who founded Resolution Vineyard. For those who know Peter you may see a striking resemblance!
 
A massive Thank you to our family and friends for coming down and helping us create Pinot Peter and to Doug, Peta and Ron for helping us put him up, it was fabulous fun.
 
Vote 1 Pinot Peter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome 2018

So 2018 is well underway at Resolution Vineyard and we hope everyone had a happy and relaxed Christmas and New Year.

We finished up 2017 with a short getaway across the Channel to Bruny Island and celebrated our first Christmas at Resolution Vineyard commencing with the annual Middleton Fire Brigade lolly run, some cookie cooking, tree gathering and decorating and Christmas lunch with our loved ones on the lawn. It was a glorious day.

Now that 2018 is here we are back to focus on the crop growing before us, it's looking great.
