5 star winery, James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2009

Established in 1996 on gentle sloping land in the Coal River Valley of southern Tasmania (Australia), Frogmore Creek bottled its first vintage in 2002. The Reserve Pinot Noir from that year won the best Pinot and the Best Wine of Show at the 2004 Tasmanian Wine Show and was awarded 96 points by James Halliday in his 2005 Australian Wine Companion.

In 2003 we began bottling our Chardonnay and Riesling along with our flagship Pinot Noir. At the 2005 Tasmanian Wine Show it was our Chardonnay that took a gold medal. At the 2006 Royal Hobart International Wine Show, our 2005 Reserve Pinot Noir won a Gold Medal.

Internationally, our Frogmore Creek 2005 Pinot Noir has been the stand-out. It received the Chairman's 'Best of Class' at the 2007 Long Beach Grand Cru Wine Competition and a Gold Medal at the 2007 Los Angeles International Wine and Spirits Competition.

The Coal River Valley region is an award winning wine producing area with a similar lattitude to the famous wine regions of France and Germany. Only a 20 minute scenic drive from Hobart city and you are amongst the largest concentration of privately owned vineyards in Tasmania. Tasmanian winegrowers have used the cleanest air in the world, the purest mountain water and the four distinct seasons of the mid-southern latitudes to produce premium quality wines for a world market.

Tasmania's climate produces wines more like those of Europe than mainland Australia - internationally acclaimed reds and whites of exceptional quality.
