Hugh has been captivated by Tasmania since his first visit. The landscape, the history ancient and modern, the people, and most of all, the quality of fruit grown all over the island. His passion for pure, expressive Riesling resulted in the starting of this company with his partner (and kelpies) in 2017.

The wine is made in the best years only and sees extended skin and lees contact, with partial fermentation in French oak. It is delicate, pure, and elegant: a unique representation of the finest Riesling grown on this island. Fermentation was stopped early to retain natural grape sugars, balancing with the beautiful acid line. 8.5% alcohol and all delicious. Eylandt (Dutch for island) is the script from Abel Tasman’s 1642 journal when he first charted Van Diemen’s Land.
