Pepper Tree Wines have been producing top quality wines for over three decades. What makes it so different is grapes grown on carefully chosen soils by John Devis in four regions of Hunter, Orange, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully, which gives the wine different flavours. The vineyards sit among the four finest appellation regions around Australia. These regions provide a diversity of fertile soil types and a variety of specific microclimates. That is how Pepper Tree Wines offers you the best of four worlds.
