  • Eddystone Point Watermark PINOT Noir Derwent Valley

    One of the hardest of all grape varietals to make, this wine displays all the hallmarks of great Pinot Noir.  A soft perfumed aroma of strawberries and cream with a touch of spice that continues onto the palate finishing soft and silky with lingering red berry and spice.

  • Eddystone Point Watermark Riesling Coal River Valley

    One of the "purest" of all grape varieties the wine makers task is to protect all of the delicate aromas and flavour inherent in the grape.
    Our Riesling is a great example of what happens when you get this right. The aroma displays concentrated floral notes of citrus and lime that evolves on the palate into lemon, lime and mineral flavours with a tangy, mouth-watering finish.

Winemaker’s Philosophy

Careful vineyard selection, matching the right varietals with the appropriate subregion within the cool climate of Tasmania, to ensure fruit flavour and quality are maximised. Sourcing and nurturing fruit from across all subregions of Tasmania to produce wines that are complex and show distinct and concentrated varietal flavour.

Eddystone Point range is fresh, vibrant and approachable in its youth. Eddystone Point wines are made for everyday drinking. The core of the range express concentrated varietal character with a fresh backbone of acidity, but the youth and curiosity of the Eddystone Point drinker encourages more experimental winemaking inclusion and an element of funk.

Long standing relationships with Tasmanian growers, (many of which grow not just wine-grapes, but poppies, sheep and a variety of crops as well), combined with a dedicated and passionate cool climate viticultural team provides the assurance that fruit quality is always the focus. Eddystone Point reaps the rewards of the years spent by passionate people such as Ed Carr, who believed in the potential of Tasmania to produce premium fruit, and who continue to explore the opportunities presented by the diversity of sub regions Tasmania has to offer.

The attention to detail occurs in the vineyard. Our experienced and passionate viticultural team work diligently alongside our growers, guiding and supporting them to ensure fruit quality is the focus and flavour ripeness is optimized.

It is this investment in the vineyards that sets the winemaking team up to receive fruit of the very best quality possible, which is the key to producing premium cool climate wines.

Winemaker’s Biography

Stewart Byrne, Winemaker – Eddystone Point

Tasmanian born and bred, Stewart initially began his career studying rocks and soils, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Earth Science (Geomorphology). Upon completing his degree, and while undertaking an Honours degree, he frequently found himself conducting soil analysis for various Tasmanian vineyards as a means of part-time work. This eventuated in spending the following year working in the vineyards at Stefano Lubiana Wines.

Stewart spent the following two years travelling, working and tasting his way around the world’s wine regions, and upon returning to Australia, undertook two degrees simultaneously, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Oenology and Viticulture, and a Bachelor of Science in Wine Agribusiness from Curtin University, where he received the Leeuwin-Talijancich Award, given to the Dux of the Curtin University Program.

Stewart gained valuable cellar experience working for two years at Stella Bella Wines in Margaret River, particularly working with Chardonnay. He then completed vintages in the Swan Valley (Houghton Wines), Oregon (Elk Cove) and Tasmania (Bay of Fires Wines), before joining Josef Chromy Wines in 2011 as Winemaker. After seven years at Josef Chromy, Stewart has now returned to Bay of Fires to look after the Eddystone Point wines, where his obsession with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir continues.
