About Hewitson Wines
Hewitson Wines is a family-owned producer based in the heart of the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Founded in 1998 by Dean Hewitson, the estate draws deeply on history, sourcing fruit from some of the oldest vines in the world, including a legendary vineyard planted in 1853.
Their vineyards are rooted in dry-grown, pre-phylloxera plantings such as the “Old Garden” block, which includes historic vines of Mourvèdre, a rarity globally, along with vineyards in other premium South Australian regions including Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.
Winemaking at Hewitson marries Old-World respect for vineyard heritage with modern restraint and precision. The philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, letting the vineyard speak for itself: careful canopy management, dry farming, and sensitive use of French oak when needed, to preserve purity, structure and terroir expression.
Hewitson’s wines are defined by their authenticity, age-worthy structure, and sense of place: from robust, earthy reds built on ancient vines to elegant whites and Rhône-style blends. The house is respected for wines that combine power with refinement, offering serious depth for collectors and everyday appeal for wine lovers.
