This pioneering Tasmanian producer is one of the most southerly in Australia. Successful cool-climate viticulture gives the aromatic Riesling a fine balance of mineral fruit and green apple floral aromas despite occasional ripening problems. One of the country's better Gew rztraminers is made here when the vintage permits. Merlot can also be very good. Family disputes forced Moorilla's sale in 1996 but the winery is prospering once more, thanks to the excellent wine-making of Alain Rousseau.
Whites can improve for four or five years.
