This Island Off the Coast of Australia Is a Hidden Paradise for Sparkling Wine Lovers

"Perched above vineyards that slope toward the river Derwent, this estate was chosen 32 years ago by a South Australian winemaker chasing the specific conditions needed for world-class sparkling wine: a cool, frost-free climate, varied soils and a long growing season. Visitors note sweeping silvery views toward Hobart, a strong sense of place in the Derwent Valley and a clear, long-term focus on producing high-quality sparkling wines tied to the island’s unique terroir." - Besha Rodell Besha Rodell Besha Rodell is a James Beard Award-winning writer, editor, and restaurant critic with two decades of experience and an international following.
