About CRE
Wine & Spirits
Charles Reuben Estate vineyard was established in 1989 and has been producing fine wine of high quality in a family business for many years.
Louise and Jens with their three daughters run the day to day in a true family and paddock to plate boutique business. Our wine and spirits are produced on site which includes growing, distilling, bottling and labelling.
In 2019 Charles Reuben Estate added a distillery to the vineyard to create the first and finest brandies of Tasmania and Australia. It was a logical move to offer brandies after our master distiller studied "Distilling" at the prestigious "University of Hohenheim" in Germany.
The vineyard and distillery are only 7 minutes from the historical town of Richmond and in the finest grape growing region there is in Tasmania.
Together with our award winning winemaker and very special fruit from one of the oldest vineyards in the region, Charles Reuben Estate produces some of the rarest and finest wines in the Coal River Valley.
We enjoy the luxury of a small scale producer that doesn't need to follow trends or marketing plans. We can produce what we find is best. Stand by for some exciting award winning Rosé, Chardonnay and barrel aged Pinot Noir. Charles Reuben Estate is also producing a one of a kind Pinot Noir Fortified Wine (Port) and an Armagnac style aged Brandy from Estate grown grapes.
After 3 years of eager waiting we released our first barrel aged single vineyard and triple cask Brandy and Fortified Wine in late 2023.
We have a passion for all variations of brandy and also offer elegant and unique fruit brandies (eau de vie, schnaps, aqua vitae). One could say we are Tasmania's experts for European style spirits.
Our product range is diverse and most spirits are extremely versatile. In Europe fruit spirits have many more uses and therefore are in everybody's pantry and can be used for cooking and desserts, as a digestive, in cocktails or mixed similarly to a Gin. Our products include: "Kirsch" (Cherry), Blood Orange, a grape brandy we named "Tisco", "Williams", Apricot and much more.
Our cellar door is open by appointment only at the moment. Wine and Spirits can be ordered by telephone, email or here at our online shop.
