Welcome to Brinktop. This place is where we live, grow grapes and make wine. From day one, we were optimistic about the potential of this site. It is an ideal viticultural site in the south east corner of the Coal River Valley Wine Region, Tasmania.

Owners, growers & makers
Brinktop Vineyard is planted on the old Killara Farm at Penna. Built from the ground up, our wines now champion the terroir and express the vital nature of this place. They are all single site, hand crafted wines made from hand-picked fruit and carefully selected clones.
Rocky slopes, facing an idyllic east-north-east, keep harsh afternoon sun away from the grapes; depth in fruit flavour is delivered from mineral rich dolerite soils; and summer afternoon sea breezes, from nearby Frederick Henry Bay, cool the site and aid in retaining perfume and freshness in the wines.

We acknowledges theAboriginal people as the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania), our island home. We thank and pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal communities, elders past and present and recognise their deep and spiritual connection to this amazing place.
We also thank the Iles family who farmed dairy cows, pigs and sheep on this land for almost 100 years and had an intimate relationship with the Brinktop (Killara Farm) dirt. We know how hard they worked and love the photos they have shared with us of the family at work on the farm.
