Craigie Knowe Vineyard

CK Cropped1

The oldest vineyard on the East Coast of Tasmania, started by John Austwick in 1979. John's true love was Bordeaux Blend Cabernet. We have continued this tradition utilising the vines he planted back in 1979. The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot & Petit Verdot. Our Pinot Noir has been described as "the Shiraz drinker's Pinot". Deep full full-flavoured wine from 42-year-old vines. The Riesling is a cracker, with great fruit flavours and finishes crisp. Flora's restaurant continues to surprise and delight people with the quality of food that we produce at a reasonable price. Our chefs only use the freshest ingredients, with many of the vegetables from our own market garden. Open for lunch every day we are open.
