History

Frogmore Creek's story began in 1997 when Jack Kidwiler, an American entrepreneur with a passion for fine wine, recognised the extraordinary potential of Tasmania's Coal River Valley for producing world-class cool-climate wines. The property takes its name from the historic Frogmore Estate, which dates back to the early colonial period, connecting the modern winery to Tasmania's rich heritage. From its inception, Frogmore Creek has been at the forefront of Tasmania's wine renaissance, pioneering sustainable farming practices and championing the region's capability to produce wines of international calibre. The winery's commitment to excellence was further strengthened when renowned winemaker Alain Rousseau joined the team, bringing European expertise to complement Tasmania's unique terroir. Over the years, Frogmore Creek has garnered numerous accolades and awards, cementing its reputation as a benchmark producer. Today, the estate continues to honour its founding vision whilst embracing innovation, remaining dedicated to crafting wines that authentically express the pristine beauty and distinctive character of Tasmania's remarkable wine-growing landscape.
