Sinapius is a boutique vineyard in Tasmania's Pipers Brook wine region, focused on crafting wines that express the unique terroir of their site. Family-owned and operated, the vineyard was founded in 2005 by Linda Morice and her late husband, Vaughn Dell, with a commitment to meticulous viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. High-density plantings and a hands-on approach ensure that each bottle captures the intensity and complexity of the vineyard.
Sinapius produces a diverse range of cool-climate varietals, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay, Grüner Veltliner, and Ribolla Gialla. Every wine is naturally fermented, with minimal additions, allowing the fruit and site characteristics to shine. The result is a collection of wines that are elegant, precise, and expressive of Tasmania’s northern terroir.
The Sinapius cellar door offers an intimate and authentic tasting experience where visitors can sample the estate’s small-batch, handcrafted wines. The tasting space provides a relaxed setting to explore the vineyard’s unique approach to winemaking, with insights into the high-density plantings and sustainable vineyard practices that define their wines.
Set above the banks of Pipers Brook, the property provides a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely visit. Guests can enjoy a guided tasting of current vintages while learning about the vineyard’s philosophy and commitment to producing site-driven wines.
