About

Sen Vineyard is a boutique family estate at 195 White Hills Road in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, established in 2018 on Kanhaika Farm flanked by two mountain ranges with Ben Lomond as a backdrop. Winemaker and vineyard manager Tetsuya "Tetsu" Sen studied environmental science and viticulture before training under leading winemakers in Burgundy and New Zealand — experience that directly shapes the estate's minimal-intervention approach. The vineyard is managed without synthetic fertilisers or harsh chemicals: cover crops grow between every row to build soil health and attract beneficial insects. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the core varieties, with smaller plantings of Pinot Gris and Riesling, and the estate's distinctive "White Hills Mist" character — a soft, dusty tannin signature from the extended cool-climate growing season — sets the wines apart.
