Why Choose To Buy Your Organic Tasmanian Pinot Noir From FAB?
If you have ever opened a bottle of pinot noir and felt like something was missing — a certain energy, a sense of place — the chances are the vineyard had something to do with it. Conventional farming can flatten a wine before it even reaches the winery. Organic viticulture does the opposite. It builds the kind of complexity and natural acidity that makes pinot noir worth drinking slowly.
Tasmania makes that argument better than anywhere else in Australia. The island's cool southern climate and ancient dolerite soils produce a pinot noir that is fragrant, precise, and genuinely alive in the glass. The long ripening season gives the fruit time to develop real complexity rather than just ripeness. Add certified organic viticulture — no synthetic pesticides, no herbicides, no chemical shortcuts from vine to bottle — and you have a wine that expresses exactly where it was grown, with nothing getting in the way.
This collection is curated by FAB, Australia's first certified organic wine and spirits retailer. Every producer here has passed independent certification audits. Every bottle has been tasted by our team before it goes live. We do not list wines to fill a category. We list them because they are genuinely worth your time.
Why organic matters more for pinot noir than almost any other variety
Organic farming removes the chemical layer that can mask a wine's true character, and the difference shows in the way the wine tastes and ages.
Research consistently shows that organically farmed wines contain higher levels of polyphenols and resveratrol than their conventional equivalents. They also tend to carry lower levels of synthetic additives, which matters to anyone who has noticed that not all wines affect them the same way. And because organic producers rely on healthy, expressive fruit rather than cellar correction, the cool-climate acidity that defines great Tasmanian pinot noir remains intact, which is precisely what allows these wines to age so well.
A well-made Tasmanian organic pinot noir drinks beautifully on release and continues to develop for two to five years in the bottle. The best examples from strong vintages can hold for a decade or more, and they reward the patience.
When your wine arrives
We pack every order in Sydney with the journey in mind, but wine still needs a little time to recover after transit. Stand the bottle upright for 24 to 48 hours before you open it, and you will notice the difference in how it shows.
After that rest period, store it on its side somewhere cool and dark. A consistent temperature between 12°C and 15°C is ideal, and a dedicated wine fridge is the best solution if you have one. Away from the kitchen, away from direct light, and away from anything that creates vibration — all of those things work against a wine over time.
Once you open a bottle, Tasmanian pinot noir is best enjoyed within two to three days. It is a lighter-bodied red with fine tannin, which means it is more sensitive to oxygen than a shiraz or cabernet would be. Recork it, put it in the fridge, and let it come back to around 15°C before you pour the next glass.
Taste before you buy
We run free walk-in tastings every day from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Shop 1/202 Elizabeth St in Surry Hills - no booking, no obligation. If you are in Sydney and curious about our selection, come and try it first. That is exactly what the tastings are there for.

Frequently asked questions about our Tasmanian Pinot Noir Collection
Why should I buy organic Tasmanian pinot noir from FAB rather than a larger retailer?
Most large retailers stock organic wine alongside conventional wine without independently verifying the certification behind it. FAB stocks only certified organic and biodynamic producers, and every listing is checked against the producer's current certification before it appears on the site. We have been doing this since we became Australia's first certified organic wine and spirits retailer, and that standard applies to every single bottle.
Is organic Tasmanian pinot noir also preservative-free?
Organic certification covers what happens in the vineyard — the complete removal of synthetic pesticides and herbicides throughout the growing process. Whether a wine is also preservative-free depends on the individual producer's approach in the winery. Some use minimal sulphur, others use none at all, and every product page on FAB tells you exactly what is in the bottle so you can make an informed decision.
Will my wine arrive safely if I live outside Sydney?
Yes. FAB delivers Australia-wide and every order is packed carefully by our team in Sydney to protect the wine throughout transit. Free delivery applies to all orders over $200, and for Sydney customers, same-day delivery is available in select areas.
How do I know the quality will stay consistent as this collection grows?
Every new producer we consider goes through the same process: certification is verified, the wine is tasted by our team, and it is only listed if it genuinely meets the standard we hold everything else to. The collection grows when we find producers worth adding, not to fill space. That is the difference between a curated selection and a catalogue
