Tasmanian Vintners

Tasmanian Vintners (TV) is a joint company owned 50/50% by Tasmanian businessman Rod Roberts and the Fogarty Wine Group, which acquired the assets of Winemaking Tasmania from the administrator of that business. TV will continue to process grapes and wine for a broad range of smaller Tasmanian producers, and also buy their excess fruit and assist them to market their wines. TV is well set up for small-batch production with Liam McElhinney as winemaker and responsible for business operation. Fogarty Wine Group (in its own right) has a number of other rapidly developing major projects in Tasmania. -JAMES HALLIDAY
