Wine Description

This wine and the philosophy behind it has not changed significantly since the first wine was made from the 1964 harvest. A blend from most of the blocks on the vineyard, this wine expresses the hallmarks of Eden Valley and the Pewsey Vale Vineyard.

"Brilliant straw. Incisive citrus and pit fruit aromas show fine clarity and are complemented by building floral and mineral notes. Chewy and tightly focused on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon, nectarine and honeysuckle flavors and a hint of succulent herbs. Shows a refreshingly bitter lemon pith quality on the long, focused finish, which echoes the mineral note."
— Vinous, Dec 2021

“The nose here is alive with loquat, dried apricots, quartz, riverbed and white stones. The medium-to full-bodied palate is so waxy and lemony with a real sense of structure and depth. Tangy and bright, this ends long and slightly oily.”
— James Suckling, Jul 2019

Since 2011, parcels have been fermented with the wild yeast that comes in on the grapes from the vineyard.

A beautiful wet winter set the vines up for a healthy start to the growing season. A drier than average spring meant the vines responded quickly; growing and flowering well and setting a good number of bunches. Summer was warm and dry with cool nights to ripen the grapes and maintain freshness and natural acidity. The balmy Indian summer of early March helped finish the ripening of these perfectly balanced and flavoured grapes.
