Tumbarumba has some of the coldest viticulture on mainland Australia.It is a place of rare beauty; there is purity in the air, crystal mountain waters, and the bushland is dense with native animals.
In this unique climate we can craft wines that are focussed and driven. With expresion and refinement that speak of their origin.
Tumbarumba is not an easy place to grow grapes. Winter is bitterly cold, Spring is punctuated by severe frosts, the hills are frightenly steep and it is remote, really remote!
“Ultra-premium viticulture here is laborious and extremely expensive, however, the most magnificent achievements often begin with the greatest challenges.”
Jason Brown, owner/winemaker of Coppabella
“...an exceptional vineyard...” James Halliday
Coppabella takes its name from the original cattle station that occupied the area in the 1800’s.
The Coppabella vineyard is the second largest in Tumbarumba and it is extremely well-credentialed.
It has previously been the source of some of Australia’s great Chardonnay’s including Penfolds Yattarna.
