History

Absolute Viticulture was established in 2013 and came from a desire to create a service from the ground up that could support Tasmanian wine businesses in a way that was driven by the people who worked in it. The idea was simple, provide direct, honest and practical viticultural advice utilising the latest in research and technology.

Since our beginning we have worked with wine businesses all over Tasmania, established Tasmania’s largest contract machine harvesting service and through our vineyard development projects increased the planted vineyard area in Tasmania by 20%.
