A number of people have asked why Pepper Tree has vineyards in four different grape growing regions. Although Pepper Tree winery is sited in the Hunter Valley and founded as a Hunter Valley winery, we found that grapes grown in other areas exhibited characters that we felt should be explored.
Over the years we acquired vineyards in the Orange, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra growing areas to enable our winemaker to produce
varietal wines that either did not grow as well in the Hunter Valley or are different expressions of a particular varietal that
we wanted to offer connoisseurs of fine wines.
The character and complexity reflected in our Appellation wines are one expression of our diverse vineyard resources. A second is the balance and elegance in our "Multi-Regional" Range of varietals. These are blends of a varietal wine made from grapes grown at two or more of our vineyards that vary from year to year. All Pepper
Tree wines are produced, aged and bottled at the winery.
