Our Vineyard

With an average altitude of nearly 500 metres, Pewsey Vale Vineyard sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor. The resultant cooler temperatures encourage a longer ripening period that is essential for producing superior Riesling grapes.

Location

Pewsey Vale is not an easy vineyard to manage - but we wouldn’t want it any other way.

The lean and hungry soils, high altitude, rocky outcrops and finicky micro-climate keep Louisa working hard year-round to individually manage each block according to its specific needs. It is these very attributes that produce superior quality grapes of exceptional flavour and character.

With an altitude varying between 485 and 500 metres, Pewsey Vale Vineyard sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor. This means cooler temperatures and a long ripening period that extends well into autumn, perfect for the characteristic Rieslings we know and love.

Our beloved Contours block received formal organic certification in 2013. The viticulturist is able to tease out the very best characteristics from these vines while nurturing the surrounding fauna and flora, which are so important to the biodiversity of the vineyard.
