Meet Our Wine People

Tassie's wine folk are a diverse bunch but share a few things in common – they're proudly doing things their own way, are aways up for a challenge and especially thrive when they're told that it can’t be done.

Broad Arrow

Jeremy Dineen, winemaker at Broad Arrow, crafts expressive, site-driven wines from their vineyard in Relbia. With decades of experience, he blends innovation and tradition, focusing on purity, balance, and regional character to showcase the distinctive, natural flavours drawn from the timeless beauty of this ancient island.

Ghost Rock

When we talk about people in the wine industry, we simply can’t forget all those behind the scenes. At Ghost Rock, every member plays such a crucial role in shaping the overall experience. From the vineyard team to the winemakers, each contribute to the quality and uniqueness of a wine. Hospitality people and administrative staff enhance the customer experience by sharing their knowledge and passion too.

Clover Hill Wines

Robert has worked vintages across the globe, from Bordeaux to Napa, but it’s here in Tassie that he’s most comfortable to bend the rulebook until it breaks. Here, he produces sparkling wine solely in méthode-traditionnelle and doggedly pursues our new multivintage philosophy.
