Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown
Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmolzer are forging a brave and remarkable new path for Beechworth. Over the past decade the pair have taken Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown from a small startup with a few tonnes of fruit and a dream, to one of the most exciting, unique and collectible artisan wine labels in Australia.
They craft stunningly elegant and detailed Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Nebbiolo from their Thorley and neighbouring Brunnen vineyards - the two highest altitude sites in Beechworth, as well as a range of Rieslings as compelling as any in Victoria, and an eclectic suite of smashable, alternative wines to get any party started.
"Jeremy Schmolzer and Tessa Brown live life on a viticultural edge, working an elevated vineyard in Beechworth that sprouts challenges like others grow weeds. But the rewards can be great... These guys are genuine stars."
- Nick Ryan (The Australian)
The buzz around this husband and wife team is palpable and the praise is high. Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown are going to be at the forefront of Beechworth wine for many years to come.
