The 42 Degrees South label (formerly known as Wellington and Roaring 40s), is produced by Frogmore Creek Wines and made from 100% handpicked fruit. As the central latitude of Tasmania, the 42 Degrees South name reflects Frogmore Creek’s position in crafting fruit-driven wines from grapes sourced from throughout the state. Fruit selection from different vineyard sites around Tasmania and straight-forward, down-to-earth winemaking techniques are aimed at producing wines with clear and characteristic varietal fruit flavours. This wide-ranging scope in grape supply allows outstanding Tasmanian wines to be made every year.

"42°South is a new brand: belonging to a familiar name in the Tasmanian wine industry Hood Wines [now Frogmore Creek Wines]. It’s now being used instead of the company’s Wellington label, so right from the start you know the wine is going to be very user-friendly."

92 points 2008 Pinot Grigio

“Pinot Grigio” on a label can be a warning sign that translates as ‘prepare for disappointment’. There are good ones though. This Tassie example is a refined wine with a hint of complexity to its honeyed stone fruit, pear, mineral and earthy aromas. It tastes dry, smooth and savoury."
