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 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.

P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Riesling 2023
Original price was: $11.60.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Eden Valley is considered a cool climate district. Cool climate districts though are not all the same since coolness can come from elevation or latitude or a combination.
Further variations are created by the closeness to the ocean, being a source of cool air, and rainfall as humidity seems to play a role in creating the taste.
