Jim Chatto makes some of the finest Pinot Noir in Tasmania, quite a statement given the calibre of winemaking on the island. Jim ended up in Tasmania by chance. In 1998, after studying at Charles Sturt University, his first winemaking job was at Rosevears Estate in the Tamar Valley in Tasmania. The stint was short-lived, as he moved to the Hunter Valley in 2000 to become head winemaker of McWilliams, which included making the acclaimed Mount Pleasant wines. As a result, Jim became only the fourth winemaker at Mount Pleasant since the legendary Maurice O’Shea founded the estate in 1921. Yet during his time in Tasmania, Jim met and married Daisy. Together they acquired a vineyard in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, which Jim started planting with Pinot Noir in 2007.
