Paulett Wines
Uncut diamond produces the world's best Riesling.
The courageous Paulett family builds their own winery during a drought and an economic crisis. They are rewarded with the award for the world's best Riesling.
The Paulett family crossed half a continent after deciding to make wines big where they had previously been small. They now make the world's best Riesling and Shiraz.
In the 1980s, Neil and Alison Paulett decided to move to the Polish Hills in the Clare Valley. Australia was in recession and suffering from a severe drought. They chose the most beautiful place in the whole of the Clare Valley, a region that was only just making a name for itself as a wine region. Everything spoke against it, but the Paulett couple fought their dream through and are now the proud address for the best Riesling in the world (Best of 500 - International Riesling Challenge). The younger Paulett generation, Matt and Ali, now have the reins and are successfully driving the family business forward. They continue to produce Riesling, Shiraz and sparkling wines.
The mission: protecting Australia's groundwater.
Pauletts' is convinced that sustainability must be practiced in winemaking. To protect the valuable Australian groundwater, the 66-hectare vineyard has never been artificially irrigated since 1999. All areas are mulched and protected by clover planting. The family is also currently investing in solar energy on the way to CO2 neutrality.
"We actually only wanted to have an Australian Shiraz in our portfolio. They were a hit for that. The real surprise for us was their Riesling and sparkling wine."
