Pewsey Vale Prima Riesling

A new wine from the long heritage of Riesling from Pewsey Vale. An early harvest wine, the grapes are picked 4 weeks before the rest of the vineyard when the sugar levels are just right. The wine created can be described as semi dry. An interesting “chalky” acid is balanced off with left over fruit sugars to make an fascinating, refreshing drink.

Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling

The first vineyard planted in Eden Valley, Pewsey Vale, is situated above the Barrosa in a cooler climate, ideal for a greater ripening. Planted in 1841 it truly was ahead of its time, many a grape was tried out there with the experimental Joseph Gilbert at the helm. His research helped the Australian wine industry become what it is today. Sadly, Australia’s Great Depression made the vineyard fall into disrepair.
