Pewsey Vale vineyard was founded in Eden Valley, South Australia during 1847 by Englishman, Joseph Gilbert. It is currently part of S.Smith and son. It was the first vineyard established in what is now the Eden Valley wine region[2][3] and the first to plant Riesling vines in Australia.[4] Pewsey Vale has become one of Australia’s leading producers of commercial riesling,[5] with its signature wine being the Contours Riesling.[6]
