Brian Franklin, the owner and winemaker of Apsley Gorge, brings a wealth of experience to the craft of winemaking. After initially training under Philippe Charlopin, one of Burgundy’s most respected winemakers, Brian’s winemaking journey led him to the Apsley Valley. His expertise in the French tradition of winemaking, combined with his nearly 40 years of experience in both France and Australia, has shaped the wines of Apsley Gorge into one of Tasmania’s finest examples of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brian’s hands-on approach, from viticulture to fermentation, ensures that every bottle expresses the unique character of the land.
Apsley Gorge is a testament to Brian’s commitment to producing exceptional wines with great purity and structure. The vineyard’s location, near the entrance to the Apsley Gorge National Park, enjoys cooling afternoon breezes, which moderate the climate and promote long, slow ripening. With a focus on natural winemaking techniques and minimal intervention, Brian produces wines that are as individual as the site they come from, with each vintage representing a new opportunity to showcase the potential of the land.
At Apsley Gorge, the philosophy revolves around the careful, natural expression of the vineyard’s terroir. Brian Franklin’s approach to winemaking is rooted in the belief that great wine begins in the vineyard, where healthy soils, low yields, and careful vineyard management are key to achieving the highest quality fruit. The vineyard is farmed without irrigation, and every vine is hand-pruned and hand-picked to ensure that only the best grapes make it into the wine.
Winemaking at Apsley Gorge is focused on minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine through. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and oak usage is kept to a minimum to allow the fruit to take centre stage. The result is a collection of wines that are rich, complex, and balanced, with a clear reflection of the region’s unique growing conditions. The philosophy of Apsley Gorge is to produce wines that are expressive, structured, and built to age, showcasing the exceptional potential of Tasmania’s cool-climate vineyards.

The wine offers a powerful entry, filling the mouth with ripe, luscious fruit, while the complex tannins provide structure and finesse.
