Pewsey Vale Eden Valley

Nestled in Eden Valley, South Australia, Pewsey Vale Vineyard is renowned for its exceptional Riesling wines. Established in 1847 by Joseph Gilbert, it was the first vineyard in the region and the first to plant Riesling vines in Australia. The vineyard's contoured rows of Riesling grapes, some dating back to the original 1847 plantings, thrive at an elevation of nearly 500 meters, benefiting from the cooler microclimate that enhances the grape's natural acidity and complex flavors. Pewsey Vale's signature wine, The Contours Riesling, is celebrated for its exceptional aging ability and is often released as a museum reserve after 5 or 10 years of cellaring. The winery's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking allows the unique terroir to express itself in every bottle. Visitors can arrange tastings and vineyard tours by appointment, offering an immersive experience into the world of Australian Riesling.
