Tasmanian Wine

Buy Tasmanian Wines Online in Australia

Tasmanian wines offer something a little different from warmer regions. They tend to be vibrant, balanced and driven by fresh fruit flavours. These qualities make the wines versatile and easy to enjoy with a range of food, from seafood and salads to richer dishes. Whether you lean towards Tasmanian red wine or prefer something lighter like Tasmanian white wine, this collection brings together bottles that suit many occasions and tastes.

What is Tasmanian wine known for?

Pinot Noir is the island's most planted grape and its biggest name. Tasmanian Pinot tends to be bright and fresh, with red cherry, raspberry and a savoury, earthy edge. Chardonnay is next, usually tight and citrusy rather than rich and buttery.

Then there's sparkling. Tasmania has a growing season similar to Champagne's, and in 2025, 43% of all Tasmanian wine made was sparkling. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay go into most of it, which is why so many Tasmanian bubbles taste fine, crisp and complex. Aromatic whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc round out the range.

Why Tasmanian wine tastes the way it does

Tasmania is cool and maritime. Westerly winds off the Southern Ocean keep spring and summer mild, then long, dry autumns let the grapes ripen slowly. Cool nights hold on to natural acidity. That's why Tasmanian wines taste fresh and precise rather than big and ripe.

It's also why the wine costs a little more. The island's grapes are some of the most valuable in Australia, averaging $3,924 a tonne in 2025 against a national average of $604. Wine Tasmania ranks the island 13th in Australia by volume but 5th by value.

Tasmania's wine regions

Most of Tasmania's grapes come from a handful of areas. In the north, the Tamar Valley and Pipers River are known for sparkling and Pinot. The East Coast around Swansea grows riper, fuller Pinot. In the south, the Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and Huon Valley near Hobart make fine Pinot, Chardonnay and Riesling. There's also a small North West area.

Tasmanian Pinot Noir vs mainland Pinot

Tasmanian Pinot Noir is usually a little lighter and brighter than Pinot from the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula, with more acidity and red fruit. If you like a fresher, more delicate style, start here. For something a touch richer, try our Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.

How to choose a Tasmanian wine

• For a dinner party, a Tasmanian Pinot Noir goes with duck, salmon, mushrooms and roast chicken.
• For a celebration, Tasmanian sparkling is a great local alternative to Champagne.
• For seafood, try a Riesling or Chardonnay. Both love oysters and grilled fish.
• For a gift, a single-site Pinot or a House of Arras sparkling always impresses.
• For the cellar, good Tasmanian Pinot and Chardonnay can improve for five to ten years.
