Description Five Star Hewitson is owned and run by Dean Hewitson, a winemaker at Petaluma for 10 years. This is a lovely new arrival from Adelaide Hills, and his "wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint" (Halliday). "Fresh and vibrant, the inviting bouquet shows green apple, fresh herb, nectarine and lime zest aromas, followed by a flavoursome palate offering excellent fruit power and persistency, finishing lively and racy. At its best: now to 2026. 93" (Sam Kim Wine Orbit)
Adelaide Hills is based in the southern Mount Lofty Ranges just east of Adelaide in South Australia. Adelaide Hills is a premium and ancient region with a decidedly cooler climate, meaning crisp nights adds wonderful aromatics to the wines. Adelaide Hills was one of the first regions in Australia to be settled by European settlers of German origin. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the hero grapes of the region.
