TAR & ROSES
Tar & Roses is a boutique Australian winery based in Heathcote, Victoria, founded by winemaker Don Lewis, a highly respected figure with decades of experience in Australian winemaking. The brand is known for producing elegant, medium-bodied wines that balance savoury complexity with vibrant fruit.
The winery works with both classic and alternative grape varieties, including Shiraz, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Pinot Grigio, reflecting a strong influence from Italian wine styles. Heathcote’s ancient Cambrian soils and warm climate allow for wines with depth, structure and distinctive character.
Tar & Roses wines are typically refined, savoury and food-friendly, often showing flavours of red berries, spice, herbs and subtle earthiness, with fine tannins and balanced acidity. The style leans towards elegance rather than heavy, overripe expressions.
