Pepper Tree Wines

The Pepper Tree winery was founded in 1991 and has been developed as one of the show pieces of Hunter Valley Wine Country. It is part of a quality food, wine and accommodation triumvirate comprising Peppers Convent Guesthouse, Circa 1876 and Pepper Tree Wines with its surrounding manicured gardens and vineyards. The popular boutique Cellar Door has been a regular winner in the tourism arena – complementing the Pepper Tree wine success on the show circuit. Pepper Tree produces premium varietal wines sourced from its own vineyards in the Hunter, Orange, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully regions. Pepper Tree currently produces more than forty thousand cases per year with distribution well beyond cellar door into specialty stores and fine restaurants throughout Australia and selected international markets. Pepper Tree has also branched out into hand roasting coffee onsite with the new addition of Contango Espresso-Roasters to enhance the customer experience. 

Pepper Tree The Gravels Shiraz Viogner 2012

Pepper Tree Wines Tasting Note 
Our best Shiraz Viognier is grown on our Gravels block in Wrattonbully. Situated at the base of an ancient dune, this block has red soil mixed with ironstone gravel, over free draining Gambier limestone. These tough well drained soils, provide tiny crops of intensely perfumed fruit. A complex aromatic mix of spice and florals with dark berry fruit integrated well with savoury oak.  An opulent and expressive cool climate Shiraz – medium bodied yet powerfully concentrated with dark berry fruits and wonderful spice. Supple tannins and fine acidity provide great structure and balance.

Cracka Wines Tasting Note 
“A complex nose of dark berry fruits with a heady mix of lifted spice notes integrated well with subtle French oak. Rich and concentrated, this wine displays sweet mid palate fruit with complex spice flavours. The nicely structured finish is balanced well by subtle ripe tannins.”
