A story behind every bottle
At Bangor, each one of our wines tells a story of our history. From Abel Tasman's landing, to the convict days, to the gorgeous wombats that live in our paddocks. Enjoy a bottle of Bangor Wine today and share in a Tasmanian story.
Captain Spotswood Pinot Noir
At Bangor we make two styles of Pinot Noir. The first is an un-oaked Pinot. Crafted from our young Pinot vines, this wine has a lighter, fruity style, designed to be enjoyed with family and friends all year round.
In the 1830's, Captain John Spotswood held the first land grant at Bangor, including the site where our vineyard now stands. Early accounts record that he rather enjoyed a drink, and we expect that he would have fancied a glass of this Pinot Noir named in his honour!
Abel Tasman Pinot Noir
Abel Tasman is our premium wine label. Crafted from superior Tasmanian fruit and matured in French oak, Abel Tasman is an elegant, full-bodied Pinot Noir. The savoury complexity of this wine will develop further with careful cellaring over the next 5-10 years.
Tasman Bay, on Bangor's northern coastline, is the site where Abel Tasman planted the Dutch flag on December 3rd, 1642. We have named this wine in honour of Abel Tasman and the beautiful island that would come to bear his name.
Jimmy's Hill Pinot Gris
Jimmy's Hill is a true, cool climate Pinot Gris. It is a blend of fruit handpicked from Bangor and other local vineyards.
Pinot Gris is a delightful food wine. With fresh fruity characters and a lovely glossy texture, it pairs beautifully with a wide range of fish and shellfish, including oysters and mussels. Pinot Gris also matches well with white meats, cheeses and salads.
Rising a commanding 1002 ft, Jimmy's Hill is Bangor's highest point and one of Tasmania's convict era semaphore stations. With a simple hut for shelter, Jimmy, the rugged bushman who called the remote outpost home, maintained a vigilant eye on adjacent stations, standing by to relay messages.
1830 Chardonnay
1830 is a cool climate Tasmanian Chardonnay crafted from premium hand-picked Tasmanian fruit.
Matured in French Oak, 1830 is an enjoyable blend of rich stone fruit characters and fresh citrus flavours, with subtle notes of vanilla. Chardonnay is another classic food wine, pairing beautifully with seafood, white meats and soft cheeses.
In 1830 John Dunbabin, convicted of horse stealing, was transported to Van Diemen's Land. Having narrowly escaped the hangman's noose, he was determined to make the most of his opportunities. Through sheer hard work, John earned his freedom and bought his own land, paving the way for five generations of farming at Bangor.
Vintage Sparkling
A stunning Tassie bubbles, Bangor Sparkling is a classic blend of cool climate Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. With a subtle strawberry note, beautiful toasty characters from 4 years on lees, balanced with refreshing acidity, this is the perfect bubbly for any celebration large or small!
