Steven Vineyard stands as a landmark in the Hunter Valley, offering exceptional wines and a captivating story. Nestled picturesquely opposite the Hunter Valley Gardens on the scenic hill behind the dam, this vineyard has been a source of premium grapes for decades.
Rooted in Rich Volcanic Soil: A Legacy Dating Back to 1968
Planted in 1968 by Lindemans, Steven Vineyard boasts rich volcanic soil, which contributes significantly to the quality of its grapes. De Iuliis Wines recognized this potential early on, purchasing exceptional fruit from the vineyard to create their Charlie Shiraz (a tribute to Mike De Iuliis’ grandfather) since 2005. Their dedication deepened with a lease in 2009, culminating in the vineyard’s acquisition from the Roche family in 2013.
Revitalized Through Regenerative Practices: A Focus on Sustainability
De Iuliis Wines embraces sustainable practices, and Steven Vineyard is a shining example. They’ve revitalized the land through regenerative viticulture, ensuring the vines continue to thrive. This commitment translates to diverse high-quality grapes, including semillon, chardonnay, the classic Hunter Valley shiraz, and the unique pecorino variety.
Steven Vineyard offers more than just stunning views. It’s a testament to the Hunter Valley’s rich history and De Iuliis Wines’ dedication to quality and sustainability.
