Quite often, tadalafil we dig into our cellar and pull out some gems – not only Providence but also other wines we have sold over the years.  Yes! Providence has a broad range of Tasmanian Pinot Noir wines, including many medal and trophy winners dating back to 1999!  Therefore, if you are looking for something […]

I have been rattling on in my Providence Winery Facebook page re two Pinots we have consumed over the past two nights:  A Black Estate from Waipara in NZ and our Providence Miguet Reserve Pinot Noir.  Both are 2001 vintage.  And both were “old bold Pinots”! Whilst I do have some of both, I am

So many places down the east coast of Australia were severely affected by the recent weather and Launceston was no exception, as the photo shows.  Such a beautiful photo (thanks Peter!) showing such devastation.  Providence got beaten up:  the grassed areas were a carpet of bits of trees and torn leaves, one can hardly stand

A great presentation at Josef Chromy Wines today, ed headed by General Manager Jeremy Dineen.

This quote attributed to Rob Gibson of Gibson Wines appeared in a Dan Murphy’s ad released today (20 April).  Because of the scourge of phylloxera in Europe, most of the ‘old vines’ are in the new countries, such as Australia, in particular, South Australia.  Whilst Tasmania can’t compete with the alleged 173-year old vines in

The culmination of year’s toil ends on Sunday.  On Tuesday we picked the Riesling – first time ever it has been picked before both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.  The fruit came in at 13.8 Baume, the most ripe we have ever picked Riesling.  Because of the small amount, it will be blended with another batch

In the last month, Providence has released its 2011 Pinot Noir, pill 2012 Monet Riesling and 2013 Miguet Reserve Chardonnay.  These wines fit well in the Providence stable.  The 2011 Pinot is not a Miguet, but it is a well balanced Pinot showing lots of character, forrest floor with evident tannin and acid.  It is
