Pendarves REW Pty Ltd

The development of Pendarves Estate began in 1986 and today the Company is known as Pendarves REW Pty Ltd. The original Vineyards were situated in the Belford Dome, a new sub-region in the Lower Hunter Valley just north-west of the established Pokolbin vineyards. Pendarves REW Pty Limited is jointly owned by 'The Wine Doctor' Dr Philip Norrie, Managing Director and Anthony Proctor, Chairman.

The "Belford Dome" is unique to the Hunter vineyard region and ideal for producing fruit driven wines with intense flavours. The "Belford Dome" is a small outcrop of limestone covered by a clay topsoil, very similar to the famous "terra rosa" profile of Coonawarra, and quite unlike the general clay and volcanic soil structure of the region. It was near here that James Busby planted the first vineyard in the Hunter Valley called Kirkton after 1825.

Along with more 'traditional' varieties of Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay, Pendarves REW Pty Ltd has entered into a Joint Venture in Australia with Wine IQ REW Pty Ltd, and can now therefore offer an exciting range of wines, with new varieties and blends, often outside the usual commercial mainstream of Hunter Valley, and encompassing production partnerships with a variety of unique Grower's styles from Australia's prestige Wine Growing Regions. Pendarves REW offers fruit driven wines with intense flavours. Today, Pendarves REW Pty Ltd continues to flourish and Pendarves wine is exported to Europe, Asia and North America, together with significant distribution in Australia.

RESVERATROL
Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Resveratrol has also been produced by chemical synthesis, and is sold as a nutritional supplement derived primarily from Japanese knotweed. Resveratrol extends the life span of several short-living species of animals. In mouse and rat experiments, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering and other beneficial cardiovascular effects of resveratrol have been reported. Most of these results have yet to be replicated in humans. In the only positive human trial, extremely high doses (3-5g) of resveratrol in a special proprietary formulation have been necessary to significantly lower blood sugar. From Wikipedia

Pendarves Resveratrol Enhanced Wines have been developed to contain between 1,500% and 10,000% of the 'normal' levels of the antioxidant Resveratrol. This means typically Resveratrol levels in our red wines are increased from 3-6mg/l to about 100mg/l, and Resveratrol in our white wines are also increased from 1mg/l to about 100mg/l.

WINE
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Wine is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. Various varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are used depending on the types ofwine produced.

Although other fruits such as apples and berries can also be fermented, the resultant "wines" are normally named after the fruit from which they are produced (for example, apple wine or elderberry wine) and are generically known as fruit or country wine. Others, such as barley wine and rice wine (e.g. sake), are made from starch-based materials and resemble beer and spirit more than wine, while ginger wine is fortified with brandy. In these cases, the use of the term "wine" is a reference to the higher alcohol content, rather than production process. The commercial use of the English word "wine" (and its equivalent in other languages) is protected by law in many jurisdictions. From Wikipedia
