Trial Hill is a stand-alone vineyard in Pewsey Vale. North-facing, at 450 - 480 m altitude, this vineyard contains many micro-terroirs. The 1.8 Ha Riesling vineyard is austere, with shallow (15 cm) grey-brown skeletal soils, strongly acidic, rich in mica, and stony and steeply sloping. It was contour planted about 40 years ago for ease of operations, and there is usually a spread of ripening from top to bottom.
