Frogmore Creek stands as a beacon of winemaking elegance and innovation in Tasmania's renowned cool climate wine region. Under the guidance of Senior Winemaker Alain Rousseau, Frogmore Creek embodies the essence of balance, engagement, and elegance in each bottle produced. Alain's approach, described as 'lazy winemaking,' emphasises minimal intervention, allowing the fruit's natural qualities to shine through. This philosophy is complemented by his use of experimental techniques for the Winemakers Reserve label, showcasing a range of complex and unconventional wines. The vineyards, managed by Danny Belbin, a fifth-generation farmer, are a testament to sustainable and innovative farming practices, ensuring the production of high-quality grapes that reflect the unique terroir of the Coal River Valley.
The wine portfolio, featuring Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, is a reflection of Frogmore Creek's commitment to producing wines that are not only beautifully balanced but also pair wonderfully with food and have the potential to age gracefully. This commitment to quality and innovation positions Frogmore Creek as a distinguished name in Tasmania's wine industry, inviting wine enthusiasts to discover a brand that truly encapsulates the spirit of its region and winemaking philosophy.
