Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Hewitson known for?

Hewitson is renowned for producing full-bodied red wines that celebrate old-vine heritage and regional identity. The winery’s standout varietals include Shiraz and Mourvèdre (also known as Mataro), both of which are sourced from some of the oldest surviving vines in the Barossa Valley. Hewitson’s Old Garden Mourvèdre is especially iconic, crafted from vines planted in 1853—making it one of the oldest Mourvèdre vineyards in the world. These reds are celebrated for their powerful structure, depth of flavour, and ageing potential. In addition to these, Hewitson also produces elegant Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and white varietals like Riesling and Semillon, each expressing a sense of place and vintage character. The style of winemaking emphasises balance, finesse, and minimal interference, allowing the natural expression of the fruit to shine. Overall, Hewitson is known for crafting wines that are bold yet refined, with a strong link to Australia’s winemaking heritage.

Where are Hewitson wines made?

Hewitson wines are crafted in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, one of the country’s most prestigious and historic wine-producing regions. The winery itself is situated in the heart of the Barossa, where warm days, cool nights, and ancient soils provide ideal conditions for growing richly concentrated grapes. Hewitson sources fruit from a mix of estate and select grower vineyards, with a special emphasis on old vines that date back to the mid-1800s. These ancient plantings are a rare treasure, contributing intense flavours, fine tannins, and exceptional ageing potential to the wines. In addition to the Barossa, Hewitson also works with fruit from Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills for certain varietals, particularly aromatic whites. The winery employs both traditional and modern winemaking techniques in a state-of-the-art facility designed to respect the integrity of the fruit. As a result, Hewitson wines are a true expression of regional identity, history, and meticulous craftsmanship.

What are the best Hewitson wines?

Among the most highly acclaimed wines from Hewitson is the Old Garden Mourvèdre, sourced from vines planted in 1853. This wine is considered a benchmark for the varietal globally, offering deep, earthy complexity, spice-laden aromas, and a structure built for long-term cellaring. Another standout is the Mother Vine Shiraz, made from old-vine Shiraz that showcases classic Barossa richness with refined tannins and elegant balance. The Baby Bush Mourvèdre—crafted from younger vines propagated from the Old Garden—offers a more approachable yet still characterful expression of the variety. For white wine lovers, the Gun Metal Riesling from Eden Valley is crisp, mineral-driven, and known for its purity and age-worthiness. Each of these wines reflects Hewitson’s commitment to minimal intervention and respect for vineyard heritage. These top bottlings consistently receive critical acclaim and demonstrate the winery’s strength in delivering both power and precision across its portfolio.

Are Hewitson wines affordable?

Hewitson wines span a broad price range, offering accessibility for everyday enjoyment as well as premium options for collectors and connoisseurs. Entry-level labels like Miss Harry or Baby Bush Mourvèdre provide excellent value, delivering expressive, high-quality wines at a reasonable price point. These wines are approachable, well-balanced, and ideal for casual meals or sharing with friends. On the higher end, wines such as Old Garden Mourvèdre and Monopole Shiraz represent more significant investments, reflecting their old-vine pedigree, limited production, and cellar potential. However, even at the premium tier, Hewitson wines are considered good value compared to international equivalents of similar quality. The brand's reputation for consistency, authenticity, and careful winemaking makes it a trusted choice for those seeking wines that over-deliver in character and craftsmanship. Whether shopping for a weeknight bottle or a special-occasion vintage, Hewitson offers a range that is both varied and price-conscious without compromising on excellence.
