CRAIGIE KNOWE
Tasmanian family owned vineyard and cellar door operated and managed by father and son Glenn & Alex Travers.
Craigie Knowe is the oldest vineyard on the East Coast of Tasmania. Our first vines were planted in 1979, by then Hobart dentist John Austwick. He was such a pioneer of the time, with many local farmers thinking he was crazy, but they quickly realised John was onto something and planted their own vines.
The family philosophy is to grow exceptional fruit so the winemaker can weave his magic with minimal intervention.
Craigie Knowe do this by being meticulous in the vineyard, following the advice of their viticulturist and Alex and learning as much as they can… the little things really do make a difference. The 5 hectare working vineyard produces exceptional and award winning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other varieties.
