Small Wonder Wines, nestled in the heart of Tasmania's Tamar Valley, embodies a commitment to environmental stewardship and the production of high-quality, organic wines. The journey of the vineyard began with an unexpected purchase, driven by a passion for cool climate wines and a vision to nurture the land sustainably. Today, Small Wonder stands as a testament to this vision, with a 20-hectare vineyard that is not only Certified Organic but also practices regenerative farming to enhance soil health and biodiversity. The winery's dedication to minimising its carbon footprint extends to the use of 100% green energy and recyclable, lightweight packaging, reflecting a holistic approach to wine production that respects both the land and its community.

This remarkable location contributes to the creation of wines that are fresh, detailed, and vibrant, showcasing the distinctive characteristics of Tasmania and, more specifically, the winery's place within this celebrated wine region. Small Wonder's portfolio, including Blanc de Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé, and Pinot Noir, is a reflection of its commitment to producing iconic wines that celebrate Tasmania's unique terroir.
