Parallax Organic Vineyard occupies a remarkable site at 436 Shark Point Road, Penna — on the lower slopes of Pontos Hills in Tasmania's Coal River Valley, just 600 metres from the Pittwater coastline. The land has a history stretching back to an 1820 crown grant, and the completely frost-free position delivers around 1,130 growing degree hours per season, ideal for producing aromatic, richly textured cool-climate wines. Certified organic by Australian Certified Organics (ACO), the vineyard and winery use no chemical fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides. Parallax specialises in Pinot Noir and Riesling, celebrated for their uplifted aromatics and intense flavour.
