Our roots are firmly planted in one of Australia's oldest wine regions, and one of Australia's best known wine families.
Founder Lisa McGuigan is the fourth generation of a dynasty of celebrated vintners, the McGuigans.
Our iconic cellar door nestled in the foothills of the Hunter Valley's Brokenback Ranges, just outside Pokolbin, reflects our determination to blend the essence of tradition with the magic of innovation.
Launched in 1998 as Hermitage Road, in honour of the street on which Lisa grew up, the brand started small, in the corner of the McGuigan winery.
The business grew rapidly, propelled by Lisa's unique approach to marketing – success which brought the brand into the sights of the French Appellations body which took issue with her use of “Hermitage”, a protected wine region in the Rhone Valley.
And so, Tempus Two, which is Latin for “second time” was born, creating a truly Australian iconic brand.
Never one for following tradition, or believing that “it can't be done”, Lisa's vision for Tas to create a range of wines which look as fantastic as they taste and which showcase varietal and regional strengths.
The award-winning cellar door with its soaring canopies reaching for the sky, is truly breathtaking and the perfect backdrop for the Tempus Two experience.
The cellar door is home to a boutique cheese shop, a Japanese restaurant specialising in Tepanyaki and a new cocktail and wine lounge called Goldfish.
