Boomer Creek, a relatively new producer on Tasmania's east coast at Little Swanport, has impressed with recent releases - and has just opened a spectacular cellar door. First settled in the early 1800s, the family property derives its name from the local wildlife, with a ‘boomer’ being a large male kangaroo. In addition to the vineyard there are also fine wool Merino sheep, Hampshire sheep for the lamb market and stud classic and miniature Herefords, along with an olive grove. The vineyard was planted in 2012 and 2013 and this dry rosé, made from pinot noir grapes, is a standout with pale cherry and strawberry fruit notes and bright acidity on the finish. The perfect picnic wine, pair with tuna dishes, or delicious enjoyed on its own. $28. www.boomercreekvineyard.com.au.
