Haddow + Dineen is a collaborative winemaking project from cheesemaker, Nick Haddow, and winemaker, Jeremy Dineen with the aim to make small batches of intensely Tasmanian wines.
You would be hard pressed to find someone with a deeper understanding, or experience, of the complexities of Tasmanian viticulture than Jeremy. few have achieved more in the Tasmanian wine industry than Jeremy. he has led the winemaking team at Josef Chromy since 2005 where he also makes wine under contract for some of the better labels in Tasmania. inspired by the intense quality of the fruit from the Yorktown vineyard, it didn’t take much for Jeremy to talk nick into making some wine together.
Nick is the founder of Bruny Island cheese and Bruny island beer. he also runs a small organic dairy farm in the Huon valley. nick has always dabbled on the fringes of winemaking – he grew up in south Australia and has spent much of his life hanging out with vignerons and winemakers. this project has given him the chance to finally get his hands dirty.
The top tier of Tasmanian Pinot Noir has just increased its number by one.”
