Drinking around the world: Tasmania is a winemaker to watch
Bay of Fires vineyard in Tasmania
You have probably never considered stocking up on wine from either Swansea or St Helens. Both are on Tasmania’s Great Eastern Wine Trail, one of four in Australia’s island state.
Tassie, the “Apple Isle”, is also home to the Tamar Valley wine road, the East Coast route and the Cradle Coast region, which boasts Ghost Rock, one of the premium Tasmanian wines featured in The Vinorium’s £178.95 “Discover Tasmania” wine case.
The Vinorium, based in Lenham in Kent, was originally formed as the retail division of Z&B Vintners, a Bordeaux specialist. In 2017, it started importing directly from wine producers Down Under and has become the UK’s leading Australian wine specialist.
