Heemskerk hails from the pristine, cool-climate region of Tasmania and produces wines that capture the purity and elegance of this increasingly popular region.
A modern expression of pure Tasmanian luxury, the Heemskerk tier focuses on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sparkling, while Abel’s Tempest by Heemskerk includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and sparkling.
Through the violent tempests that raged around the coast of Tasmania, Dutchman Abel Tasman navigated his flagship, the Heemskerk, finally sighting the island’s west coast in 1642. Many of Tasman’s attempts to land were thwarted by these huge winds which, while frustrating Tasman, are integral to creating the cool climate that Tasmania’s vineyards thrive in.
