“My aim is to make the most of Tasmania’s superb cool climate fruit by producing high quality wines that everyone will remember and enjoy” – Kate Hill, winemaker

A simply stated vision from Kate, and one she delivers on with absolute assurance and style. These are excellent wines; timeless, elegant, generous. Dress them up or dress them down to suit the occasion; they’ll adapt and flourish.

Established in 2008, Kate Hill Wines is located on the edge of Huonville in southern Tasmania’s magnificent Huon Valley. The wines are produced from grapes from their two vineyards in the Huon Valley, as well as fruit sourced from some of the best vineyards in other parts of southern Tasmania.

Showcasing exceptional quality and value, Kate Hill produces a floral and classy Riesling, a wonderfully savoury Pinot Noir brooding with lovely dark fruit flavours, limited production of an elegant Vintage Sparkling Wine, and an exceptionally moreish cool climate Shiraz.

Following time spent overseas working at various vineyards in France, the USA and Chile, Kate established herself in the region from 2006, where she took up residence as a winemaker with Stefano Lubiana.

Today, the wines are made in a 19th century apple cool store and packing shed which Kate and her husband Charles have converted into a winery. Being fully independent winemakers, they have control over quality at all stages of the winemaking process. Minimal intervention is the overriding philosophy, something that’s easy to achieve when soil health and fruit quality are so good.
