Front Page News at Winter Brook!
Introducing the new owners of Winter Brook Vineyard! Sandy and Adam Gibson and their two children Samantha and Maxim moved from Sydney to take up residence at Winter Brook in the West Tamar Valley in July 2021 . Since being at Winter Brook, all things vineyard, winery and cellar door have allowed for the opening and offering of the spectacular estate made wines including the much coveted Dornfelder and Maverick, Winter Brook's signature blend.
Since being at Winter Brook, winemaker Sandy Gibson has won an award for the 2021 Pinot Rose and has featured on the front page of the Examiner newspaper. Such a kind and amazing story from author Andrew Chounding has highlighted not only Winter Brook, but the hidden vineyard gems of the West Tamar Valley.

Our wines. Our life. Balance.
Winter Brook Vineyard produces high quality fruit that is hand picked to develop the fine quality wines in our winery. The annual release of wines is about 10,000 bottles across all varieties (about 900 cases).
We will be maintaining this level of production as we love our wines but also love life balance! Our dream of owning, operating and living all things vines and wines means that our focus is producing boutique, hand crafted wines, and enjoying every step along the way. This is why we have limited availability for our wine club to ensure that these fabulous and highly desired wines are available to visitors to our cellar door in the West Tamar Valley.
We look forward to meeting friends of Winter Brook, new and old and will be regularly updating our online store for those who want to purchase our wines through the site.
Enjoy wine, enjoy life, relax.
New 2021 Vintage Red Wines... Coming Soon!!
After a whirl wind first harvest and vintage at Winter Brook Vineyard, we are excited to release the much anticipated 2021 Vintage red wines in the coming months.
In the last month the 2021 Pinot Noir 'Reserve' has been bottled and is soon to be released in June 2022 for tasting and sales in the cellar door. This beautiful hand crafted wine comes from the finest grapes from our oldest Pinot Noir - Block No. 1 and has been barrelled in the highest quality oak to produce a stunning, full flavoured, delicious red.
Later in the year (September 2022) will be the release of the much anticipated Dornfelder and Maverick, which are all looking spectacular! These 2021 releases will be highly sought after as we quickly sold out of both Dornfelder and Maverick in the previous year.
Be sure to keep an eye out for our newsletter and on our socials for the announcement of the wines coming into the cellar door and online store!
