Bordered by the stunning Pipers River, Gryphonwood's 73 acres comprises roughly half workable land, half bushland and river gorge. The river blocks are at 260m above sea-level, while the topmost vines are at 310m, making Gryphonwood one of Tasmania's higher vineyards. Our height above sea-level will impact on our wine styles. Each growing season in Tasmania is unique, and the seasons will dictate to us the style of fruit we can produce.

After many years in the wine trade as a grower, manager, owner and viticulturalist, it was, I concluded, time for me to enter the ring and lose some serious money by sharing my passion for wine and launching my own range. This range is tailored to my thoughts on what comprises the ideal drinking experience for each variety. I hope you will find them to your taste too.
Tiger Ranch was established in 1975 when my grandfather, Tom, visited the site of our new farm at Narrawa Road, at Wilmot on the North West Coast of Tasmania. He was beguiled by stories of early farming pioneers recounting stories of catching Tasmanian Tigers in and around the area. Although believed extinct from the region, some of the stories so amused Tom that the family dairy farm was nicknamed Tiger Ranch, and since then all farming pursuits have been under the Tiger Ranch Agriculture banner and also including Awarran Park.
Two Bud Spur is one of a small group of vineyards in the Huon Valley that together make up the most southerly wine region in Australia. Our vines were planted in 1996 on a premium north facing site in Gardners Bay, Tasmania. The vineyard was purchased by marine biologists Craig Mundy and Karen Miller in August, 2006 and we released our first wines under our new Two Bud Spur Label in 2007.
