About Ossa
“Their ambitions were carefully coded in the choice of name for the label: Ossa,” wrote The Australian’s Nick Ryan of Rod and Cecile’s vision. “Tasmania’s highest peak. Aim high.” Liam McElhinney and the team have struck out with wines of soaring quality. The sky is the limit for Ossa.
About Liam McElhinney
New Zealand-born winemaker Liam McElhinney has been at Ossa’s winemaking helm since the project’s birth. Liam’s experience across great wine regions around the world, paired with his passion for cool-climate viticulture and varieties, has proven a powerful combination. His affinity for Tasmanian terroirs has been demonstrated by a range of accolades, including the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2023.Alongside Belbrook Vineyard supervisor Jay Dillon and group chief viticulturist John Fogarty, Liam and the Ossa team have set about putting together a collection of wines that show Tasmania’s east to be a breathtaking frontier for wines of detail and distinction.
“We’re taking that vision and that creativity and the confidence that the site is special. We then have the privilege to translate that into a liquid narrative over a number of years,” says Liam. “We’ve only scratched the surface, and we’ve got such wonderful feedback in the early days. And that’s continuing the more that we put a Belbrook lens on these single bottlings. So, it’s where we take it from here that’s the most exciting part.”
