Winery & Vintage Info
Bream Creek Vineyard produces premium wines from Tasmania’s pristine cool climate and has been rewarded with over 20 trophies and more than 470 show medals since 1990. Our 7.5ha vineyard at Marion Bay in the south-east of Tasmania was originally planted in 1974, making it one of the oldest commercial vineyards on the island. Fred Peacock purchased the vineyard in 1990 and expanded the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plantings, as well as introducing Sauvignon Blanc. Fred also planted what was arguably the first commercial planting of the rare German grape Schönburger in the southern hemisphere.
While yields for vintage 2015 were significantly down across all southern Australian states, including Tasmania, the fruit from that vintage was of excellent quality, with perfect balance between flavour and physiological ripeness for the Bream Creek Pinot Noir 2015.
Made in our traditional fuller bodied style, this cool climate Pinot Noir has a spicy dark cherry nose and an intense dark fruit palate, supported by fine grained tannins. This wine may be enjoyed now or confidentially cellared.

Silver Medal - Class 28 2017 Royal Hobart International Wine Show
" “Full-bodied, fleshy, dense and high-extract. A big wine, with lots of persistence and it packs a lot of oak. Generous flavour - it needs more time.”
95 Points - Huon Hooke
“Dark cherry, spice, earthy minerally stuff, bit of oak. Fleshy graphite tannin, slight tang to close, length and power. Flamboyant, but very good.”
94 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
