Established in 1998 Hewitson winery is situated in the heart of the Barossa Valley on the historic Seppeltsfield Road and boasts some of the oldest vines in the World. Our fruit is sourced from these dry-grown, pre-Phylloxera vineyards of the Barossa Valley and also single site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. We believe great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and in the seasons they grow. Through knowledge and experience we strive for balance, structure, concentration, power and breeding.

Such a smooth and supple expression for the Barossa. It’s loaded with sweet ripe plummy fruit displaying a mix of chocolate and mulberry with a neat peppery spice lift. So bright and lively with palate energy that drives it effortless to a long finish. Life of the party stuff here. Drink to: 2021 - 2031; Alcohol: 14.2%; Rating: 94 Points; Ray Jordan

Created from a challenge to winemaker Dean Hewitson to produce a wine that’s fit for a vintage luncheon now and in 10 years’ time. Full bodied without corpulence. Initial bloom of dark red fruits expand wide with soft, chewy tannins before things tighten and draw close. Lean in it says…. a stony whisper, a hush not often seen in wines of this rank with a juicy dark raspberry biting coda. Leave the bottle, please.

Violet florals with blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants. The fruit-focused palate has a smooth sheen of tannin that builds nicely into the spicy finish. Ripe, succulent tannins hold fresh. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Rating: 93 Points; James Suckling
