Pewsey Vale
At Pewsey Vale, Riesling is their obsession, and sole focus. Their undivided attention goes into producing Rieslings that are utterly delicious. They are single-varietal and single-vineyard wines which truly reflect the passion for the variety and the terroir.
Based in Eden Valley, South Australia. This producer creates some of the finest examples of Australian Riesling.
In 1847, Joseph Gilbert began planting the regions first grapevines. Sadly, these vines fell into disuse for a while, until 1961. This was when Geoffrey Parsons became aware of his new properties history, and began work on re-establishing Pewsey Vale. Initially, 56 hectares of contoured rows were planted. All plantings were propagated from the original 1847 vines.
Each bottle captures the purity of their single site in Eden Valley where nature is left to do its thing. With an average altitude of 500 metres, Pewsey Vale sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor. The resultant cooler temperatures encourage a longer ripening period that is essential for producing exquisite Riesling grapes.
They have been formally recognised by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia for their social and environmental efforts. They were certified organic in 2013 as they nurture vines whilst also nurturing the surrounding flora and fauna which are so integral to the biodiversity of the vineyard. Their care for the terroir is reflected in their wine.
Louisa Rose, multi-award winning winemaker and cool climate enthusiast, has been making Pewsey Vale wines since 1996. She is a firm believer that wine is made in the vineyard. Her results, are excellent single-varietal and single-vineyard wines.
