Resolution Vineyard

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.  

The boys are busy preparing things for our first full harvest tomorrow. Weather is a lovely crisp 13° today, looking slightly warmer tomorrow and fine.

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.

Resolution Vineyards 2016 Pinot Noir has received a Bronze medal at the 28^th 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.
