The 2026 Halliday W**e Companion was released today and we're over the moon that our w**es have once again been recognised among the nation’s finest, with our 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir and 2023 Chardonnay both rated with 96 points.

Today is International Pinot Noir Day and nowhere does Pinot quite like Tasmania, where cool-climate precision meets remarkable site expression.

Our Chief W**emaker Liam McElhinney says: "Tasmania is a Pinot Noir playground. Across the island, subtle shifts in soil, aspect and microclimate create an extraordinary range of styles: from silky and perfumed to deep and structured. Every site has a voice and Pinot Noir is the perfect grape to let it sing."

Whether you’re drawn to the silky textures of Derwent Valley fruit, the savoury spice of Coal River Valley, or the bright energy from the east coast, Pinot Noir Day is your invitation to explore them all. We hope you join us with a glass in hand tonight!

Located on the banks of the Derwent River, our 3-hectare vineyard, planted in 1986, is home to some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the state. Densely planted and low-yielding, they produce fruit with depth, finesse and unmistakable Tasmanian character.

From our vineyard to your glass, each bottle is a true expression of place – refined, age-worthy and unmistakably Tasmanian.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of the 2022 Lowestoft Jacoben Pinot Noir outside of a Lowestoft tasting pack. Crafted from a single vineyard in Tasmania’s Lower Derwent Valley, this is a w**e of precision, poise and remarkable depth.

Awarded Best in Show and 97 points at the prestigious 2024 Decanter World W**e Awards, Tyson Stelzer (95 points) praised its Burgundian longevity, writing: “This is Pinot Noir scaffolded for the long haul, with an intricately engineered framework of superfine tannins and poised natural acidity.”

You can shop this extraordinary w**e online through the link in our bio.

We are overjoyed that our 2023 Pinot Noir and 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir each took home Gold and 95 points at the Decanter World W**e Awards today in London.

Our Chief W**emaker Liam McElhinney said: “My team and I are immensely proud to see La Maison gaining international recognition. It is a great source of excitement to be judged on the global stage, alongside many great w**es produced from similarly passionate producers. We continue to be inspired by the Lowestoft vineyard, and everything it delivers us.”

To celebrate this achievement – and following the Pinot Noir Trophy win at the National W**e Show last week – we are excited to officially release the 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir to the public today. This w**e has quickly become one of Australia’s most sought after Pinot Noirs, and the 2023 vintage is no exception.

We are beyond thrilled that our 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir was awarded the Pinot Noir Trophy at the 50th National W**e Show of Australia last night.

Speaking on this recognition at the nation's most prestigious w**e show, Chief W**emaker Liam McElhinney said: “We are delighted that our La Maison Pinot Noir is again judged to be among Australia’s finest. These awards are a wonderful validation of our w**emaking and viticulture teams’ passion and commitment to growing truly world-class w**es.”

Vintage 2025 is underway at Lowestoft, and the conditions have been perfect – sun-drenched days and cool nights, ideal for crafting w**es with elegance, purity, and bright acidity. The sparkling w**e parcels are picked, and we’re now focused on Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and select Pinot Noir along the East Coast, where warmer conditions have developed beautiful flavours.

The first ferments are filling the w**ery with fresh fruit and floral aromas, reminding us why we love this craft. Our harvest team is a global mix, bringing talent from France, Argentina, Italy, the USA, and New Zealand – the smoko room is buzzing with energy!
