Eden Valley, South Australia, AustraliaTumbling across slopes at 540 metres, the contoured, windy Pewsey Vale vineyard is a worthy icon site of Eden, and Australia. Done entirely in stainless to preserve the fruit, this is crisp and crunchy with green apple, lemon blossom riding a slick base of perfumed lemon verbena. The finish lingers with broken stones and lime pith. Very concentrated and oily beyond its 12%, this is a fun wine in youth but will really gain complexities with cellaring.Tasted: 02 December 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Eden Valley, South Australia, AustraliaEnglishman Joseph Gilbert planted the Pewsey Vale vineyard in 1847. Not much happened until 1961 when Wyndham Hill Smith fully developed the historic site, perched at 540 metres, into the contoured Pewsey Vale Vineyard of today. It’s a rare wine whose beauty most years exceed the natural beauty of the site. 2018 is another excellent example of this unique piece of earth. The nose is an intense mix of dried flowers, lemons, and white blossoms often described as reminiscent of talcum powder. The palate is equally inviting with lime, grapefruit, and white pepper finishing with tropical fruit, a dusting of sea salt, and obvious minerality. I paired this with a curried chickpea dish to perfection. Great value.Tasted: 16 March 2020Tasted by: Prices:
