Beginning just south of Launceston, the Tamar Valley winds 50km north to its meeting point with Bass Strait. TMV is an amalgamation of three different sites, and it aims to reflect the various aspects and mesoclimates that influence Riesling in the Tamar Valley.

Three Wishes Vineyard in Hillwood, which Ricky has worked with for many years, is warm and situated just a few hundred metres from the river, a half-hour’s drive north of Launceston.

Two other sites in Relbia―Chartley Estate and Glen Shian― contribute zesty acid profiles to complement Three Wishes’ lush fruit and lifted aromatics. From five- to 25-year-old vines on various soil types (silty loam, rocky ironstone and black clay), the free-run TMV juice fermented in tank at cool temperatures.

The pressings fermented in seasoned barrels and were carefully dosed back post-fermentation. The wine spent three months on lees in tank before being bottled.
