  • Méthode Tasmanoise
    feature / Anne Krebiehl MW / Méthode Tasmanoise MÉTHODE TASMANOISE: PRISTINE BEAUTY IN BUBBLES It’s a mere three decades since Tasmania’s potential for sparkling wine was identified, but the cool, remote island is now acknowledged as being among the finest locations for traditional-method fizz production in the Southern Hemisphere. Anne Krebiehl MW takes a tour of this cool-climate hotspot in the Southern Ocean, and meets the Champagne-inspired producers now developing their own style of sparkling wines—wines that are as fresh and vivid as the island’s famously clean air indswept, remote, and totally brisk, the produced is in the niche premium wine sector retailing above island of Tasmania seems almost like $15 equivalent. This segment represents just 7 percent of an antithesis of the Australian mainland.

For decades, the weather none of the plantings survived.3 It was not until the late 1960s station at Cape Grim on its northwestern edge has measured and mid-1970s that Tasmania was rediscovered for viticulture, the cleanest air in the world. Yes, “Tassie” is as clean, as fresh, and another decade before the potential for sparkling wine as vivid as the wines that originate there. It is among not just was crystallized.

  • San Francisco & New York City 2018 Event Wrap Up
    San Francisco & New York City 2018 Event Wrap Up After a week of intensive conversations and visits with more than 160 sommeliers, wine buyers and media in San Francisco and New York, I am more optimistic than ever about the opportunities for Australian wine in one of the world’s most important markets. The US is currently at a crucial juncture at which the reputation and popularity of Australian wine is slowly but decisively on the rise, though a lot more work is required to realise its real potential. At a time when Australia’s export opportunities and growth in China are all the buzz, Wolf Blass commented to WBM’s Anthony Madigan recently that we should be getting more excited about the USA than China. That’s a big call, but this much is clear to me: Australia’s historical precedent and deep cultural ties with the US provide an opportunity far more promising than has ever been realised. In sparkling wine, for instance, the USA is the world’s biggest and fastest growing importer, responsible for landing more than 15 million cases of sparkling wine last year, and growing at almost 5% per annum. This market offers tremendous opportunity that Australia has failed to realise. Australia accounted for just 81,000 cases of last year’s volume. Australia produces 3% of the world’s sparkling wine yet supplies just 0.5% of US imports. Alarmingly, Australia’s sparkling white exports to the US have halved in the past five years. Australian wine in the US is no longer all about cheap and cheerful critter wines on the one hand and big, bold flagship shiraz on the other.

  • 2016/2017 Annual Report Welcome
    2016/2017 Annual Report welcome The 2016/2017 financial year saw Destination Southern Tasmania (DST) celebrate its fifth year of operation as southern Tasmania’s Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO). Covering a large region, incorporating 11 of Tasmania’s 29 local government areas, DST has worked hard to facilitate industry development activities in the southern region. Establishing key linkages and bringing industry together to build capacity has informed sustainable outcomes, enhancing the state’s visitor economy. This year we have seen record visitation to southern Tasmania, with over one million interstate and overseas visitors. DST has received continued growth in membership and has achieved high levels of industry engagement evidenced by over 850 attendees at DST industry events throughout the year. It is with much pleasure that DST presents its 2017 Annual Report. We trust that it will communicate the passion and energy that our organisation brings to the tourism community in Southern Tasmania. ⊲ Huon Valley Mid- Winter Fest Photography Natalie Mendham Photography Cover ⊲ Top left Cascade Brewery Photography Flow Mountain Bike Woobly Boot Vineyard Photography Samuel Shelley Huon Valley Mid-Winter Fest Photography Natalie Mendham Photography ⊲ Middle left Dark Mofo: Dark Park Photography Adam Gibson Sailing on the River Derwent Photography Samuel Shelley Australian Wooden Boat Festival Photography Samuel Shelley ⊲ Bottom left MACq01 Photography Adam Gibson Shene Estate & Distillery Photography Rob Burnett Mountain biking, Mt Wellington

  • Regional Context 8 Regional Context
    7 REGIONAL CONTEXT 8 REGIONAL CONTEXT To understand the function of the Huon Valley municipal area at a regional level, it is important to understand the evolution of land use, particularly in an urban sense. Since European settlement, cities in proximity to the coast have dominated the settlement patterns across Australia. As Australia was colonised post industrial-revolution, rural development spread out from the cities as support for the urban population. As Australian cities have grown, agriculture has been pushed outwards, with increasing suburban areas surrounding urban centres utilising rural land in order to meet the housing needs of the population. This pattern of urbanisation is evident with the evolution of Hobart and surrounding districts. As the fi rst European township within Tasmania, Hobart developed as the major urban centre of Tasmania and later Southern Tasmania. With population growth over the past 100 years and associated development many surrounding rural areas have been urbanised, with the rural resources required to fuel this growth being sourced from more remote localities.It is in this context that the Huon Valley played an important role in supplying timber and agricultural produce to the growing population of Hobart. Today, the State of Tasmania can be divided into three distinct regions: Southern, Northern & North-Western. Each of these regions has their urban centre, although given the size of Tasmanian there is inter-reliance between these regions. Huon Valley & the Southern Tasmanian Region The Huon Valley municipal area along with the Kingborough municipal area wholly comprises the southern region of the Greater Hobart area. The municipal area of Hobart forms not only the geographical but economic centre for Greater Hobart.

  • HOUSE of ARRAS EJ Carr Late Disgorged 2003
    HOUSE OF ARRAS EJ Carr Late Disgorged 2003 Arras EJ. Carr Late Disgorged Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir pays tribute to the dedication and inspiration of its maker, EJ. Carr. As the pinnacle of the House of Arras, the EJ. Carr Late Disgorged is a wine of great intensity and character, with excellent structural elegance and flavour persistence. After at least 10 years on lees the wine has amazing complexity and yet retains the remarkable freshness of the character typical of a world class prestige cuvée. A true expression of Tasmanian terroir and impeccable winemaking - the 2003 vintage is the sixth release of this wine. VINTAGE The season remained warm and very dry from September to the end of February which, combined with moderate crop yields, promoted early ripening with the generosity of a temperate year. This was somewhat moderated by much cooler and wet weather from mid-March through which maturation slowed and natural acidity was retained. The fruit for this wine was harvested in excellent condition from sites less affected by the inclement weather and the wine retains the characteristics generated by the warmth of the early season. WINEMAKING Crafted with all the best winemaking and viticultural methods, including whole bunch pressing, primary fermentation on light grape solids & 100% malolactic fermentation of base wines to add sophistication and structure. Meticulous blending of only the best parcels of Tasmanian fruit and at least 10 years on lees has ensured this wine shows amazing complexity and yet continues to retain the remarkable freshness expected of a typical world-class prestige cuvée.

My concerns are related specifically to the risks posed by this development to the population viability of the critically endangered swift Parrot. T he swift parrot has been listed as critically endangered under the EPBC Act. The conservation advice issued by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, established under the EPBC Act lists habitat loss and alteration as one of the key threats facing th e survival of the Swift Parrot. The proposed removal of known swift parrot habitat is an action that will have a direct impact on this critically endangered species. The proposed offsets do not alleviate this impact, as it still remains that there would b e a net loss of available habitat if this dam proposal was to go ahead. It is further noted with concern that the offset areas are not finalised. To further endanger a critically endangered species for the purposes of installing a dam shows a fundamental disregard for the sustainable management of our land.

    WINE TASMANIA SUBMISSION TO THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT’S TAX DISCUSSION PAPER May 2015 Submitted By: Sheralee Davies Chief Executive Officer Wine Industry Tasmania Ltd 147 Davey Street, Hobart TAS 7000 Phone: 03 6223 3770 Email: [email protected] Introduction The Tasmanian wine sector is an important and growing contributor to trade and the economy, regional employment, tourism and the overall Tasmanian brand. The quality of Tasmanian wine is increasingly being recognised around the world, including through independent endorsements, wine show results and sales, and the Tasmanian wine region is regarded as one of the strongest in the country. The Tasmanian wine sector has developed a strong, clear and collaborative position in the wine world, built on quality and value. Tasmania has emerged as one of the strongest wine regions with an opportunity to lead and drive the new wave of interest in Australian wine. Contrary to many other Australian wine regions, demand for Tasmanian wine continues to outstrip supply, and strong growth is occurring in the Tasmanian wine sector, including through the attraction of external investment. This response to the Australian Government’s Tax Discussion Paper focuses on the taxation treatment of wine on behalf of the island’s wine producers. Wine Tasmania confirms its support for retaining the value-based system of taxation on wine, together with the rebate, and only in conjunction with the rebate. Within Tasmania, the Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) rebate is being utilised as was originally intended - to support small wine producers / cellar doors making a significant contribution to Australia’s regional communities. Increasing net taxes paid by Tasmanian wine producers would severely impact on this developing high quality and value sector, which is increasing being recognised around the world.
