Spring in Winter Brook

Winter Brook Vineyard was established in the late 1990’s and is nestled on 12.14 hectares (approximately 30 acres) in the rural landscape at Loira in the heart of the West Tamar wine route.  With 3.2 hectares under vine and a further 0.8 hectares in preparation for planting, a 3 bedroom, residence, active and popular cellar-door venue, and winery all on site this is an enticing and exciting opportunity to enter or expand into the Tasmanian wine industry with a head start.  Sale is offered on a W.I.W.O. (Walk In Walk Out) basis as a going concern, however the vendors will consider all practical proposals including selling by component.  The vendors circumstances have changed since going to market and are motivated more than ever to meet the market.

Winter Brook presents an opportunity to take over a wine business enterprise “from vine to glass” with a recognised brand that has emerged the difficult Covid lockdown periods, that hit so many hospitality industry sectors, in a very healthy and viable position.  The vendors have created a portfolio of enticing wines that reflect the quality of the region and Tasmania’s cool climate.  Coupled with a charming environment, valued and knowledgeable staff, mature vines producing quality grapes and expanded plantings (from 2012-2015) maturing and underway this property is in a healthy position and the business growth on an upward trajectory.  There are further expansion options available to a new owner to explore if growth was part of forward thinking. With a portion of the vineyard young and maturing, and some remedial pruning and nutrition being undertaken in the previous three seasons yields have averaged approximately 10.4 tonnes, but with above average tonnage and quality produced in 2024 the subsequent wines look exciting.

The vendors produce a range still table wines onsite from Estate grown grapes - including white varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and red varieties Baco Noir, Dornfelder and Pinot Noir.  There are also small plantings of Pinot Blanc and Gruner Veltliner which form components of white blends, while Winter Brook Sparkling wines are currently made by a contract winemaker.  Wines are made in the vineyard, and Winter Brook Vineyard produces cool climate grapes of high quality.  For Vintage 2025 ad to meet growing demand for Winter Brook Wines a further 5 tonnes of grapes have also been secured from surrounding vineyards. The full range of wines produced by Winter Brook may be viewed on their website.

With approximately 4 hectares (10 acres) currently designated as vineyard area (producing and in development) established on north facing slopes and planted/ VSP trellised rows to the northerly aspect the site maximises sunshine in the vines.

A new water main line has been installed to upgrade and improve supply to the newer vineyard blocks.  The vineyard block’s perimeters are protected with vermin proof fencing.  The current vineyards take up approximately a third of the property, with some further development approximately another 2 hectares could potentially be established in the future.  There are other potential vineyard expansion options available to be explored.

All current wines are included in this sale as a going concern, including wines currently in production, tank and barrel.  Finishing of wines will be by arrangement but at the new owners responsibility depending on stage of production.

The Cellar Door is licenced for the sale of Tasmanian wine and has a limited food licence.  All Cellar-Door Chattels and equipment are included in this sale.

It provides wine production and storage facilities suitable for the current and projected production levels.
