Pewsey Vale Vineyard
Today a specialist riesling brand, Pewsey Vale is best known for its two dry Rieslings, each of which is consistently reliable, true to type and long living. Given the sheer quality of the younger, and the bonus of age presented by The Contours – of which the 2013 is a superbly complex and textured example – they offer remarkable value for money. The marginally sweet Prima Riesling is also finding consistency in its relatively low alcohol style of around 20 g/litre sugar. Pewsey Vale has sadly discontinued its Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris.
