Founded by brothers Matthew and Jonathan Hughes in 2011, Mewstone Vineyard sits south of Hobart, directly across from Bruny Island. The inspiration for the vineyard came from Matthew’s experience tasting wine from a now-defunct label that hailed from the same subregion. That moment led them to purchase a nearby cherry orchard and transform it into the thriving vineyard that is now Mewstone.
In addition to their flagship Mewstone range, the Hughes brothers produce a second label, hughes + hughes. This range is made from carefully selected vineyards across Tasmania’s southern regions, including Coal River, Derwent, the North West, and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, showcasing the diversity and potential of Tasmanian terroir.
