Meet second generation Tasmanian winemaker,
George Drew.
George.
George is a young Tasmanian winemaker who grew up surrounded by vines on his family's 6-hectare vineyard. He learned the art of winemaking and growing from his family, who've tended the vines since 1992.
At just 17, George continued the family tradition. Making quality wines, now under the label Third Child. His goal? To make exceptional unfiltered red wines that showcase Tasmania's unique cool climate environment.
Third Child is a labor of Georges love: Believing that all things should be kept simple, but have a high standard of quality. He’s really after an easy going drink full of beautiful flavours that can be enjoyed by anyone.
George has gained experience beyond his family's vineyard, having worked vintages at renowned Tasmanian wineries such as Moorilla (MONA) and Frogmore Creek. Through these experiences, George has refined his craft.
Today, Third Child Wines stands as a celebration of
Tasmania's rich winemaking heritage, with each bottle a testament to George's passion for winemaking.

We're all about hands-on craftsmanship from start to finish. It all begins in our family-owned vineyard in Tea Tree, where we carefully tend to our vines, nurturing them to produce grapes of exceptional quality.
At harvest time, we pick each grape, selecting only the best quality to ensure that every bottle of Third Child Wine is of the highest standard. Our winemaking process is a labor of love, with George contributing every detail to ensure that the true essence of Tasmania is captured in every drop.
Once the grapes are harvested, they’re fermented at our vineyard, in small batches, allowing us to closely monitor and control the winemaking process.
After fermentation, the grapes are pressed and our wines are aged in French oak barrels, adding depth and complexity to the final product. Finally, each bottle is carefully filled, labelled, and packaged by hand, ensuring that every bottle of Third Child Wine is a true representation of our passion for winemaking.
