Pewsey Vale

Back in 1847, Joseph Gilbert planted the first vineyards & first plantings of Riesling in Eden Valley. At 500m, the region sits 250m higher than the Barossa floor, with the relative cool-climate an attractive proposition for Wyndham Hill-Smith. He set about restoring the Pewsey Vale vineyards in the 1960s, propagating material from the original 1847 vines. Riesling is the singular focus here.
