An elevated dry land plateau adjoining the Barossa Valley to the east. Intense Shiraz and other red varieties with the elevation producing a shift in taste to the Barossa Valley. Recognition is also growing for Chardonnay and other white varieties. The star though is Shiraz.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022
$13.30Pinot Gris is like an albino version of Pinot Noir with an appealing aroma, delicate palate and good length.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Riesling 2022
$13.30‘You Australians don’t get Riesling’ I was once told by a New Zealand expert. The discussion was over a glass of Grosset Clare Valley Riesling and my response was to nod wisely and keep drinking. Naturally the Clare taste is different to the fragrant aromas and softness of those from New Zealand.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Chardonnay 2020
$13.30To say Chardonnay is at its best only from an ultra-cool climate is to miss out on the endless variety wine offers so we thought the time was right to expand our winemaking into the Eden Valley.

This Glug Vine to Glass is a ‘one off’ being sourced from one of our connections. Customers will be rewarded.

Knotts Eden Valley Nero D’Avola 2021
$12.80Glug likes varieties which offer our customers a slight shift in taste. Even better is when a small winery has made more than can be sold allowing us to purchase at keen prices.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022
$14.10The best way I can describe this Mount Eagle is to appreciate that the medium density, the result of the location, displays a range of flavours, perhaps fragrant, which tend to be masked in wines from the adjoining Barossa Valley.
