Lost Farm Tasmania
Lost Farm Tasmania Wines is about discovery and potential. Working with a small group of talented grape growers, exceptional vineyard sites and trying to realise the potential in the wines we make from them – Classic cool climate wines from Tasmania.
Our Story
Lost Farm Tasmania Wines is a cool climate winemaking project of the Angove Family. After working vintage in Tasmania in 2008, fifth generation winemaker, Richard Angove returned to work in the family’s 136-year-old business with the idea firmly in the back of his mind to one day make wines from the cold climate of Tasmania as part of the family’s range.
In 2018 the opportunity arose to partner with a small group of exceptional grape growers in the Tamar Valley in the North of Tasmania and Lost Farm – Tasmania was born. The range comprises Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sparkling wines.
Lost Farm TASMANIA – Origins
The name ‘Lost Farm’ is a tribute to the historic loss of the original Angove Family Farm, known by locals as simply “The Farm”, located in village of Tea Tree Gully, northeast of the city of Adelaide, South Australia.
In the 1970s the South Australian government compulsorily acquired prime viticultural land, including “The Farm”, rezoning this land for residential development. With the stroke of a bureaucrats pen the Angove Family’s best vineyards were taken over by the South Australian Land Commission. To bring some of our family history to this new adventure and to remember our original farm, lost to urban sprawl in 1974, Lost Farm Wines was created as a range of delicious wines from the stunning island of Tasmania.
