Greg Melick is Tasmania's most senior barrister, he carries rank in the Australian Reserves and nurtures a penchant for fine Burgundy. A consuming desire to make his own wine led him to a northeasterly slope along Tasmania's Coal River, fourteen remarkable hectares of well drained viticulture which had previously been used for grazing. Yields are kept very low and Melick's Rieslings are finished at four different levels of residual sugar, R0 being bone dry, simply superb for haute cuisine, very much in the timeless styling defined by the savoury classics of Alsace and Mosel.

Riesling / Coal River / Tasmania
There are two places of the most profound provenance along Coal River Valley called Belmont and Richmond, just a short drive northeast of Hobart. Both are a part of the early Australian experience, places of great historical import, sites that were selected during first settlement on the basis of their fertile endowments and promise of pastoral opulence. The vineyards Cooinda Vale and Butchers Hill were trained to yield a restricted harvest of the most exclusive Tasmania Riesling. Its prominent nose of indulgent perfumes, white jasmines, lemon zest and peach, a mesmerisingly mandarin palate, moreish and mineral.

PinotGris Grigio / Coal River / Tasmania
The textural excitement and arcadian funk of a mostly whole bunch pressed Pinot Grigio. A minor part of the harvest is separately picked and destemmed for twenty days of ferment on skins, gently hand plunged every other day for a modicum of extraction. Batches are pressed off skins and assembled into the finshed wine before a requisite spell of maturation on fine lees. Nashis, pears and bright persimmon spice, her palate is plush and generously fleshed but held firm through fine grape tannins and lacy acids, mouthfilling of pears, applejack and aromatic white floral.

Gewurztraminer / Coal River / Tasmania
From parcels of toothsome Tasi Traminer, selectively harvested off the pick of fully mature vines. Bunches are destemmed and treated to an overnight soak before a course of well chilled ferments on gross solids. A stretch of rest on fine sedimentery lees tightens the palate and softens the tangy white grape tannins. The adorable auras of rose petal, pot pourri and fragrant caravan spice, juicily ripe quinces, orange fruit gums and a beam of sunshine. It's the topical tryst of Traminer that's full of flesh and bedecked with oodles of more moreish Turkish delights.
