Tempus Two

Tempus Two Logo

Launched in 1998, the vision for Tempus Two remains; to create a unique and distinctive range of wines from Australia’s premier wine growing regions.

Originally named ‘Hermitage Road’, it was quickly realised that the word ‘Hermitage’ had protected status in France, so Tempus Two, Latin for Second Time’ was born.

Blending substance with style, we have a designed a luxurious, artesian and elegant range of wines for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
