Our Review
Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma for 10 years, during which time he managed to do vintages in France and one in Oregon, as well as undertaking his master's at the University of California, Davis. The wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources old-vine mourvèdre from Friedrich Koch's Old Garden vineyard, planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, as well as shiraz and grenache from (up to) 110yo vines in Tanunda and riesling from 30+yo vines in the Eden Valley. Cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, mourvèdre and muscat blanc are estate grown. -JAMES HALLIDAY

We have created a relaxed and intimate space for you to taste and buy our world-class boutique wines, some of which are only available at the cellar door. We offer local, interstate and international shipping.
The options are endless… join the Hewitson Wine Club; join the Private Cellar Club; take advantage of our private tasting room with a corporate lunch or a masterclass with a wine maker.
