Josef Chromy Wines is based at Relbia, just outside Launceston in northern Tasmania, on a 61-hectare estate in the cool climate of the Tamar Valley. Founded by Joe Chromy as a celebration of his commitment to his adopted Tasmanian home, the winery produces both sparkling and table wines, with a particular reputation for Methode Traditionelle sparkling wines and cool-climate varieties including Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Alongside its wines, the estate offers a dedicated culinary experience, reflecting Josef Chromy's broader ethos of showcasing the finest food and wine Tasmania has to offer.

Josef Chromy's Sauvignon Blanc draws fruit from two distinct Tasmanian sites — the Tamar Valley and the East Coast — giving the wine broader regional character than a single-vineyard release. The 2025 vintage benefited from a fairly consistent growing season across the island, with above-average but not hot temperatures and lower-than-average rainfall, resulting in an earlier, condensed harvest that still delivered great yields and high quality fruit. In the winery, grapes were picked in the cool early hours of the morning specifically to preserve freshness, then promptly pressed with only the free-run juice retained for maximum purity — the clear juice was then split into several fermentation vessels, each inoculated with a different yeast strain, a deliberate technique to build extra complexity into the finished wine. That careful, considered process gives this Sauvignon Blanc real chalky texture and phenolic tension alongside its bright citrus character, distinguishing it from simpler, one-dimensional examples of the variety. It's a versatile, food-friendly white well suited to fresh seafood, goat's cheese or Asian-inspired dishes, and a reliable pick for Sauvignon Blanc drinkers wanting genuine cool-climate Tasmanian character.
