Collection: PEWSEY VALE VINEYARD

Pewsey Vale was a famous vineyard established in 1847 by Joseph Gilbert. It was appropriate that when the Hill-Smith family began the renaissance of the Eden Valley plantings in 1961, it should do so by purchasing Pewsey Vale and establishing 50ha of riesling. In ’77 the Riesling also finally benefited from being the first wine to be bottled with a Stelvin screwcap. While public reaction forced the abandonment of the initiative for almost 20 years, Pewsey Vale never lost faith in the technical advantages of the closure. A quick taste (or better, a share of a bottle) of 5-7yo Contours Riesling will tell you why. Exports to all major markets. -JAMES HALLIDAY

Riesling is our single focus. So naturally our undivided attention goes into making a Riesling that’s simply delicious. Every bottle captures the purity of our single site vineyard in Eden Valley where nature is left undisturbed to do its thing. It’s no wonder we consistently deliver high quality award-winning Riesling.

The 2021 vintage release of Pewsey Vale Vineyard has been formally recognised for its sustainable winegrowing credentials, being amongst the first wine labels in Australia to display the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia trust mark. Launched in July 2019, the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA) program provides the opportunity for winemakers to benchmark their performance and communicate their social, environmental and economic credentials with consumers, who are driving the increase in demand for more sustainable wines. In order to display the trust mark on wine labels and other marketing and packaging materials, members are required to undergo thorough auditing to certify the vineyards and/or the winery.
