 Wiltshire White Horses: The old Pewsey white horse
Pewsey has had a new white horse since 1937, but it once had a much older one.

 Pewsey Vale - Vineyard
The Advantages of Altitude  With an altitude varying between 485 metres and 500 metres, Pewsey Vale sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor.  The cooler temperatures  found at this height encourage a longer ripening period which extends well into autumn.
This longer ripening period is essential for producing superior quality grapes with exceptional flavour and character - hallmarks of Pewsey Vale wines.  Block to block variation enables winemakers to select from separate parcels of fruit to tailor wines to the Pewsey Vale style, ensuring consistency from vintage to vintage.
The planting material at Pewsey Vale is the Pewsey Vale Clone, which was planted in Eden Valley in the 1800's and can be traced back to some of the original vine cuttings brought into Australia by James Busby.  Any new plantings at Pewsey Vale are propagated from the original vines.
