About Milton Vineyard

Milton Vineyard was first farmed in 1826 initially for extra fine Tasmanian wool but is now producing fine cool climate wines. Michael & Kerry Dunbabin purchased the farm in 1980, planting the first vines in the early 1990's.
Tasmanian wine production is hallmarked by fruit and natural acidity – all other elements play second fiddle to these core attributes. It doesn’t get any more ‘cool climate’ than Tasmania. The island has a cool, maritime climate, which produces outstanding quality wines. Tasmania’s East Coast has provided the Dunbabin family with an excellent Pinot Noir, superb Riesling, lively Rose, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, a complex and distinguished Sparkling Pinot Noir/Chardonnay, Syrah and Tempranillo. All grown on the family-owned property, the 28-hectare vineyard is meticulously cared for, with attention to detail being paramount.
In 2022, construction of their own state of the art, onsite winery commenced. With completion of the winery mid-2023, Milton welcomed an exciting first vintage with the 2023 Estate Pinot Noir taking out numerous trophies at the Cowra Wine Show and the 2023 Reserve Pinot Gris winning Gold at the Tasmania Wine Show.
During 2023, Milton introduced Head Winemaker, Jacqui Dolan to the team. Jacqui is passionate about quality Tasmanian wines, having worked in the Tasmanian wine industry since 2009.
