2022 VS+B ‘Prêt-à-Rosé’ Syrah Pinot Noir Rosé

Tessa Brown is a viticulturist and winemaker who runs Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown with her partner Jeremy Schmölzer, an architect. Together, they planted their vineyard, Thorley, in the highest part of the Beechworth GI in 2014 and 2015. They sourced grapes from different areas, such as Beechworth, the King Valley, and the Alpine Valleys while they wait for their own vines to mature. Every one of their wines is made with hand-picked fruit.

Tessa works with native and international varieties, such as chardonnay, riesling, nebbiolo and shiraz, and produces wines that reflect the unique sites and soils of Beechworth and the King Valley. She is passionate about biodynamic farming, minimal intervention winemaking and high altitude viticulture.
