Hamilton's Ewell Vineyards

Our Barossa Valley Vineyards

Tweedies Gully Vineyard

Located in the foothills between Lyndoch and Williamstown the Tweedies Gully Vineyard is a climatic mix of the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. With higher rainfall and cooler temperatures than the neighbouring Barossa Valley floor the white varieties retain better balance while the reds maximise flavour maturity thanks to a longer ripening period. The vineyard has soils that are superb for winegrape production making this vineyard truly noteworthy.

Railway Vineyard

The Railway Vineyard is situated on Krondorf Road, Tanunda. This area has long had a reputation for high quality winegrape production largely due to the mix of excellent viticultural soils and the localised gully breezes that stem from the nearby hills. The Railway Vineyard soils have been well matched to the planted varieties ensuring consistent high-quality winegrape production.

Fuller's Vineyard

The Fuller's Vineyard is situated at Penrice in the Barossa Valley. It is viticulture and winemaking gold. With soils of heavy red clay and limestone it is perfect for winegrape production. In addition its elevated location at the foothills of the Barossa Ranges helps to moderate temperatures. This allows for excellent flavour accumulation and retention.

Rohrlach's Block

Situated on Research Road, Nuriootpa, the Rohrlach's Block key feature is the deep clay based soils. These soils have an excellent capacity to hold moisture giving the plant an accessible source of water but at restrictive rates. The result is high quality fruit.
