Australia
Guy and Emma Bowley have established a vineyard in Jamestown in the Southern Flinders Ranges wine region known as Belalie Bend, as of (2004) they started their own production of varietal wines. Volumes will increase over the next few years as all the vines come online as they were planted over a three year period.
Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are Jamestown's first locally grown white wine grape varieties. The Belalie Bend vineyard is only 3km North of the Jamestown township with an altitude of 515m or 1690feet helping to produce cool nights to preserve the grapes acidity and ensure a more balanced wine. Guy and Emma use biologically sound and environmentally sustainable practices. Belalie Bend vines have been grown from cuttings taken in the Clare Valley, varieties include Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat.
Emma Bowley is the winemaker and has been trained at Charles Sturt University. After working for the big wine companies and overseas (USA and Italy), Emma decided to move to the smaller wineries where she could really 'make' wine. Emma also works as a contract winemaker for a winery in the Clare Valley where she has produced many multi award winning wines.
