SISU WINES

Coal River, TAS

Drawn to the Caol River Valley for its cool climate and nutrient-rich soils, Jake Sheedy found a site in upper Campania that aligns perfectly with the bright, expressive, and finely structured fruit he values. The vineyard spans 25 hectares within a 95-hectare farm – intentionally leaving space for nature to thrive.

A holistic approach to farming has been taken, guided by the belief that great wine comes from healthy, balanced land. Jake works with focus and restraint, allowing each vintage to speak for itself. Minimal intervention, thoughtful farming, and precise timing ensure each wine is a quiet expression of place, shaped – not overshadowed – by the hand that made it.

Sisu runs a flock of 220 sheep, who naturally mow the grass, reduce tractor passes, and return organic matter to the soil. This enriches the vineyard ecosystem and feeds the vines from the ground up. As part of a broader mission to restore native species, they have committed to rewilding 10% of the property within the next 5 years by planting 1,300 native stems – prickly box, white gum, black wattle, and she-oaks – laying the foundations for a landscape that sustains the environment for the future.
