Eden Valley, SOUTH AUSTRALIA ashtonhills.com.au/
Ashton Hills is a three hectare, dry-grown vineyard that lies in the Piccadilly Valley sub region of the Adelaide Hills on a ridge just below the summit of Mount Lofty. The estate was founded by Stephen George in 1982 and since that time it has built a reputation as one of Australia’s finest proponents of Pinot Noir and cool climate whites. The Reserve Pinot Noir is sourced purely from our five preferred clones. The
fruit is de-stemmed via a small, customised, gentle de-stemmer that keeps as many whole berries as possible. After ferment, the fruit is then basket pressed, and the wine is made without any additions until bottling.

The Henschke family have been making wine since 1868, and today fifth generation Stephen and Prue are widely recognized for wine quality, innovation and sustainability in the vineyard, and their role as custodians of the land. Stephen and Prue continue to craft their white wines with a focus on purity, while their red wines have a strong focus on terroir, using traditional winemaking techniques. “Prue and I are the current ‘keepers of the flame.’ Just as earlier generations have done, we want to manage the vineyards so they can be passed on to the next generation in better condition than we inherited them. The last 50 years have been an incredible journey for the Australian wine industry. Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone are arguably the two oldest single vineyard wines produced in this country that tell the wine story of Australia.” —Stephen Henschke

Eden Valley, SOUTH AUSTRALIA pewseyvale.com
The Pewsey Vale Vineyard was established at Eden Valley in 1847, producing some of Australia’s first cool climate wines. Today, Pewsey Vale is considered one of the great Riesling vineyards of the world. Where a true alliance between nature and variety exists, the need for human intervention is minimal. Gentle guiding hands and an understanding of place are all that is needed to create consistent and delicious wines, vintage after vintage. The Contours Riesling is produced from old vines farmed on the coolest slope within the vineyard, while bottle aging for 10 years before release transforms it into a very complex wine.

“My favorite thing about being involved with Pewsey Vale is tasting the wine, wherever I might be, anywhere in the world, and being able to picture the vineyard, and in that wine being able to taste the grapes and understand where they came from. It’s an amazing realization, that you can be in the vineyard but be anywhere in the world.” —Louisa Rose, Winemaker

Yalumba first began making wines at its Angaston winery 170 years ago, and the production of fortified wine has long been part of that history. By the early 1900s, Yalumba was supplying the world with these wines— from the connoisseurs of London’s gentlemen’s clubs to the British Raj in India. In fact, on Christmas Day 1929 a bottle of Yalumba Four Crown “Port” even found its way onto the table of Sir Douglas Mawson’s Antarctic Expedition. Following a 50-year-old tradition the very best barrels from each vintage continue to be selected and tucked away in the museum cellar, and it is from these time capsules the fortified collection is blended each year.

“Fortified wines allow us to create veritable time capsules in a glass. They reflect the quality of our fruit, the strength of our combined endeavor in the vineyard and the cellar, as well as our mastery of an age-old winemaking world. They salute our tenacity, resilience and entrepreneurial spark throughout five generations of family winemaking. Through gold rushes and world wars, revolutions and depressions, financial crashes and digital transformations there has been one constant in Australian wine—Yalumba’s fortified collection.” —Jane Ferrari, Yalumba Storyteller

Coal River Valley, TASMANIA tolpuddlevineyard.com
Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley was planted in 1988. The climate is cool and dry—ideal conditions to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of exceptional quality. It was purchased in 2011 by Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw, who believe it is one of Australia’s great single vineyards. The wines show great vineyard character, with a core of intense natural acidity,
savory fruit flavors and lots of complexity even when young. The Chardonnay is fine and precise with firm acidity, and a combination of lightness of texture and intensity of flavor. There was no 2019 Pinot Noir produced.

Central Otago, NEW ZEALAND twopaddocks.com
Sam Neill started Two Paddocks in 1993 with modest ambitions to produce a good Pinot Noir that would be enjoyed by family and friends. Although production is still limited, Sam now owns vineyards in all four major subregions of Central Otago (Bannockburn, Gibbston Valley, and the Cromwell and Alexandra Basins). The estate Pinot Noir is a barrel selection of the older estate vineyard blocks that consistently produce some of the very best fruit. In years when the crew believe that the vineyards have produced an extraordinary expression of site, a small single vineyard offering is released: The First Paddock and The Fusilier.
