Richard and Bernice have recently extended the Bruny Island Premium Wines vineyard, which now has 6000 vines.Bruny Island Premium Wines are a small family owned and operated vineyard / winery on picturesque South Bruny Island, approximately 1.5 hours south of Hobart (including a 15 minute vehicular ferry trip). Our wines are proudly grown, made and bottled by hand on Wayaree Estate.The two-hectare block is well-protected by an encircling electric fence - the wallabies and possums around Lunawanna love the Woolleys{ grapes almost as much as the growing numbers of people who have discovered the wonderful cool-climate wines that are grown, made and bottled by hand on the estate.The vineyard is set on a gently-sloping site with a sunny north-westerly aspect. In an ideal season, Tasmania{s calm, clear autumn days are perfect for the slow fruit-ripening conditions needed to create premium cool-climate wines.There{s a long tradition of fruit-growing in the Dillon family. Up to the 1950s, Bernice{s father and grandfather had apple and pear orchards at Alonnah, one of the sparsely-populated island{s few settlements. But the story goes back even further - Bernice is a direct descendant of one of Bruny{s first settlers, who arrived at Coal Point in Adventure Bay in 1878.
