Riesling vines in north east Tasmania. Little more than 20 years ago, people scoffed at the idea of growing grapes on the tiny island state, south of the Australian mainland. Tasmania has since emerged as a serious player on the Australian wine scene, producing a range of dry and sparking whites and light fruity pinot's. This vineyard, now the property of Providence Wines, was first planted by a French migrant Jean Miguet in the 1950's. Although winning a first at the Paris wine show, Miguet was never a success at home.
