Description Coppabella is owned by Jason and Alecia Brown, owners of the highly successful Moppity Vineyards in Hilltops. Although Coppabella is an entirely separate venture from Moppity, Jason makes the wines. The couple became aware of the quality of Tumbarumba Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, in particular the quality of the grapes from the 71ha Coppabella vineyard, when purchasing grapes for Moppity Vineyards. This silky 2023 has a Gold and 93pts. Chill slightly and enjoy with a roasted duck breast.
Vineyards are found at altitudes ranging from 300 to 800 metres (984 to 2624 feet). Vines have been grown in Tumbarumba since 1982 and currently there are more than 25 vineyards in the region. Due to the region's colder climate, the majority of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used for sparkling wine. However, when conditions allow, both grape varieties have been used to produce still wine. Vines were established at Tumbarumba in 1982.
Tumbarumba is a charming town offering an unspoilt experience for visitors. The dramatic peaks of the Snowy Mountains to the east, the bubbling streams and green fields offer a peaceful, gentle ambience. The cool climate wines on offer are something to savour, especially when matched with regional food.
