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

The growing season started with a wet winter and spring, filling up the soils, giving the vines a good start. Spring and early summer temperatures were mild and below average, resulting in a long and even ripening period. These ideal conditions for grape growing allowed us to make optimal picking decisions. The warm and dry days during late summer and autumn, combined with cool nights, lead to pristine fruit flavours and great acid retention in the 2017 Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling.
