RARE & EXCLUSIVE
TASMANIAN STARS
FEW WILL EVER SEE
200 CASES ONLY: Burgundy-level brilliance from Australia’s
“coolest, most distinctive wine region” (Jancis Robinson MW) –
secured at an amazing price thanks to our on-the-ground team
“Whenever you see Tasmanian
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on sale, they
are worth snapping up.” Wise words from
Master of Wine Richard Hemming.
Blink and you’ll miss them – Tasmania
makes just 1% of Australia’s wines and
they rarely leave the state. That scarcity
alone will excite wine lovers, but what’s
in the bottle is even more thrilling.
Tony Laithwaite last summer helped
seal the deal – they’d allow an extra 200
cases of each for the UK. And because
we’ve secured a direct line, you get an
incredible price – from just £14.99 a
bottle. But 200 cases won’t last long.
FROM THE WINNER OF BEST
CHARDONNAY IN THE WORLD
Tasmania’s ultra-cool climate delivers
next-level Pinot Noir and Chardonnay –
with finesse and complexity you rarely
see outside Burgundy Crus.
Josef has won hundreds of awards,
but his proudest? Beating a ChassagneMontrachet 1er Cru to win Best in Show
Chardonnay at the Decanter Awards.
At the heart of the magic is living legend
Josef Chromy. His story reads like a film
script: fleeing war-torn Czechoslovakia
at 19, arriving in Oz with nothing and
becoming a pioneer of Tassie wine. After
developing top wineries, including Jansz
and Tamar Ridge, aged 76 he set up Josef
Chromy ... one of Tasmania’s best estates.
You’ll see why his Chardonnays wow with
this exclusive Marchington release. Full
of ripe orchard fruit, zesty citrus and racy
mineral notes, it’s so elegant and refined.
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the
great Josef Chromy are exciting enough.
But to top it all, you won’t find these
anywhere else. They’re exclusive to us,
thanks to our on-the-ground team in Oz.
Chromy’s famous Marchington vineyard
is one of Tasmania’s oldest. It was first
planted in 1828 by John Smith – allegedly
the illegitimate son of King George IV,
exiled to the furthest corner of the realm!
Chromy’s wines are so sought after that
initially we only got our hands on a parcel
for our Australian business. But a visit by
It’s certainly a very regal Pinot Noir. Look
forward to bright summer berries, hints
of herbal spices and a long, silky finish.
