OUR STORY
Jean Francois and Cecile Miguet arrived in Australia from France in 1951, sailing from Genoa near the France/Italian border and in 1956 Jean Francois and Cecile Miguet began what was to be known for forty years as La Provence ….
Tasmania's oldest established vineyard
Vineyard
Nestled in the cleavage of Mount Arthur and Mount Brown, a spectacular backdrop for the north facing slopes of grey and chocolate clay/loan soils of Providence.
The vines were first planted here in 1956 and they remain to this day, making it the birthplace of the modern Tasmanian Wine Industry and the oldest vineyard in the state. Providence hosts the oldest Chardonnay vines in Australia and the original Pinot Noir and Riesling Vines, the oldest in Tasmania.
OUR Wines
Providence grows, makes and bottles wines at the Lalla Rd vineyard and winery. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon wines are made and bottled in limited quantities under three labels:
- Reserve
- Estate
- Monet
The focus and unwavering commitment is to make wines that have an energy, an elegance and that have longevity which demonstrates the essence of our North facing site at Lilydale, the Providence terroir.
