Vineyards
In palawa kani, the language of Aboriginal Tasmanians, kanamaluka is the name for the Tamar River from its source in Launceston to its mouth at Low Head. We pay our respect to first nations people who lived, and still live in the area.
Kanamaluka Vineyards currently manages a small vineyard of 650 vines at Hillwood, on the eastern bank of Kanamaluka, mainly Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and a little Chardonnay. The vineyard is managed by Paul Vandenberg, owner of Kanamaluka Vineyards. The property is owned by a family in Sydney, Australia.

Kanamaluka Vineyards currently produces a Rosé using the traditional method. We call it our Enso Rosé.
Enso is the Japanese symbol for striving for perfection, but seeing the beauty in the imperfect. In the same way you try to paint the perfect circle, but can never achieve it, we strive to make the perfect wine, but there is no such thing, so we see the beauty in our imperfect wines. It's the motto we live by. Below is an example of an Enso.
Our Rosé is made solely from grapes on our vineyard and is nominally made from:
| Pinot Noir | 85% |
| Pinot Gris | 10% |
| Chardonnay | 5% |
It is made with a minimal intervention technique. It has a lush colour and the characteristics of the varieties used. We hope you enjoy it.
The winemaker is Geoff Carr at Hillwood Vineyard. Check out Geoff's wines by following the link.
