Dalrymple Vineyards

Brand Description

Dalrymple Vineyards was established by Bertel and Anne Sundstrup in 1987. They were visionaries, travelling to France for inspiration and guidance. Situated in the heart of the highly acclaimed Pipers River region of northeast Tasmania, almost equidistant from Launceston, Scottsdale and George Town, the Sundstrups planted their vines on sloping hills that overlook Bass Strait – the wild sea separating Tasmania from the mainland.

Location of Vineyard

Pipers River, Tamar Valley, where the good stuff grows. Imagine – bald, windswept hills, ancient gums leaning at angles, roaring north west gales and sideways rain, fluttering wildflowers, wheeling eagles. This is wild country. A place of vivid greens, basalt browns, daffodil yellow and cornflower blues. A place where we co-exist with nature and the land.

Winemaking Philosophy

When it comes to our wine, there are four stories to be told. Our vineyards. Lean natural acidity matches with intense flavours from root to grape, soil to sunshine. Our growers. Our team of hardworking men and women, who grow and tend to our grapes with precision and care. Our vigneron. Peter Caldwell and his passion for Pinot Noir, which he carefully crushes, ferments and separates into various distinct barrels to produce wines of elegance and expression.


Our wines. Complex characters, weight, texture, and flavour come together before bottling and mature in our cellar; developing, growing, and creating a personality.

“The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with a bouquet of dried rose petals, red apple skins and cherry pips. The wine is light and shaped by savory tannins that introduce characters of sumac and nutmeg. It's a classy wine.” — acclaim for 2022 Dalrymple Pinot Noir Tasmania from Wine Advocate, Mar 2024
“The 2021 Coal River Valley Pinot Noir leads with freshly tanned leather, cherry, cranberry, star anise, ozone and graphite. The tannins have a distinct black tea quality, which I like. This is an elegant wine here; it's almost creamy and has lots of flavor intensity through the finish.” — acclaim for 2021 Dalrymple Pinot Noir Single Site from Wine Advocate, Mar 2024
“The 2021 Pipers River Pinot Noir is bright and delicious, with Pink Lady apples, cranberry, red cherry and raspberry pip, lashings of licorice, fennel and star anise; there is leather and nutmeg, to boot, as well as pretty, chalky tannins. This is not the most complex Pinot in the lineup of 2021 Dalrymple wines that I am tasting through today, but it has impressive harmony and clarity. I like that about it, very much.” — acclaim for 2021 Dalrymple Cottage Block Pinot Noir from Wine Advocate, Mar 2024
