The unique clone of Riesling planted at Pewsey Vale in the 1800s can be traced back to some of the original vine cuttings brought into Australia by James Busby. Any new plantings are propagated from the original rootstock. The cooler temperatures found in the Eden Valley encourage a longer ripening period which extends well into autumn, essential for producing superior quality grapes with exceptional flavour and character. Lean and hungry soils limit the vigour of vines, necessitating specialised viticultural management. Block to block variation enables winemakers to select from separate parcels of fruit, tailoring wines to the Pewsey Vale style, ensuring consistency from vintage to vintage.
