PETER TRELOAR

WINE MAKING  MANAGER

Peter Treloar’s has a connection with the Clare Valley that goes five generations

Following his arrival in Adelaide in 1865, from Cornwall Francis Treloar moved to the township of Watervale, in the Clare Valley

He began to acquire land and in 1870 he planted the first vines which in turn became known as Springvale

That was to the beginning of a successful business  producing wine which was sold locally and exported back to England.

More recently, on 1984, Peter Treloar, along with his wine making partner Stephen Hoff  established Heritage Wines, which subsequently moved to Maranaga in the Barossa Valley.

The return to the Clare is one that has taken Peter many years, but the opportunity to be involved in the management and making of premium wines from one of Clare’s most sort after regions was an opportunity that could not be missed.

The Penna Lane vineyard is recognised as one of the best vineyards in the Clare Valley.

The saying that good wine is made in the vineyard, was the philosophy that was followed when the first vines were planted in Penna Lane and the subsequent plantings that followed.

The high level of care shown towards vineyard management that was established in the first year of Penna Lane will be rigorously followed.

We are committed to continue producing the best quality wines we can and hope that all wine lovers continue to enjoy Penna Lane Wines.
