February 2024 Special Release

OSSA Grüner Veltliner 2022 $60

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.

Tasting notes:

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.

Obsessionist Malbec $80

We are Obsessionist

It’s when a thought pervades your mind until you can think of nothing else.

It’s under your skin. It’s in your being.
Finest Malbec.
Tasmanian Malbec.
Tasmanian Malbec from the East Coast of Tasmania

20 years of experience in the vineyard may lead you to plant something which makes more sense on the East Coast of Tasmania. But when establishing your own vineyard after all this time working in other people’s sometimes logic doesn’t come into it. Obsession does.

Malbec is an obsession. For those who know, for those who want to see. A half hectare block. The last half hectare on a family vineyard. Why not see if it could work.

Because maybe, just maybe with all that viticulture experience it could just work.

Obsessionist is an expression of what can happen when you combine knowledge and passion.
