The single variety estate was first planted with the good stuff in 1847 and in the 177 years since, its wines have captured hearts. The current collection presents flavours so distinctly Pewsey Vale, they are instantly recognisable. What’s the secret? It all comes down to place. Climate, aspect, soil type, altitude and sustainable viticultural management all play their part but it’s what goes on below in the stony terrain, that really makes its mark.
If the vineyard could speak, it would regale with tales of pioneering growers, multiple owners (including the Hill-Smith family’s 60 years and counting), and Mother Nature’s highs and lows. Throughout it all, the Riesling’s unmistakable characters stayed the same: an elegant, dry palate with fresh and crisp citrus flavours. Drink it now or watch it age with grace. Consistency like this cannot be replicated, especially when it starts from the ground up.
