Meure's Wines vineyard and winery is situated on the shores of D'Entrecasteaux Channel, overlooking Bruny Island, and is about an hour's drive south of Hobart in Southern Tasmania.
Established by former Dutchman Dirk Meure, all the wines are estate grown, processed and bottled. The approach in the vineyard and winery is best described as holistic and the wines as artisan or hand-crafted. They are produced under the label d'meure.
Yields are kept very low, between half to three quarters of a kilo per vine, or approximately two tonnes per acre. The pinot noir is carefully nurtured over two winters with minimal interference, careful handling and because of the lengthy resting in the best French oak, needs no fining or filtering before bottling, resulting in a fine wine of great length and body.
The chardonnay is barrel-fermented, rested on its lees for a year and gently filtered before bottling.
