VITICULTURE: Organic
“100% Grüner Veltliner. 85 dozen produced. Our Grüner Veltliner makes up a tiny parcel of fruit from the Belbrook vineyard on the East Coast of Tasmania. Gently pressed into seasoned French barriques for indigenous fermentation, the wine was then transferred to stainless steel tanks for further élevage on lees before bottling. Immediately enticing notes of fresh fennel, white stone fruit and lime curd, underlined by classic nuances of savoury white pepper. The palate is taught, and textural. Oak fermentation provides layers of baking spice and fresh almond notes, with lingering flavours reminiscent of Meyer lemon and winter pear.” – Ossa Wines
Ossa began with Rod and Cecile Roberts’ establishment of their Belbrook farm on the Island’s East Coast. Rod had his eye on the property from earlier agri-business days and knew it’s easterly aspect and ironstone/sandstone soils would be ideal for high quality viticulture. The family embarked on planting a 20-hectare vineyard to a mix of varieties - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Committed to sustainability, land at Belbrook has been extensively renovated including removal of noxious plant species, fencing wildlife zones and cleaning waterways. The farm is run exclusively on solar power and they are working towards organic management.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
