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 Cabernet Syrah 2022
Original price was: $14.10.$7.00Current price is: $7.00.The 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.

P. B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Shiraz 2022
$13.60There are some fabulous vineyard clusters and those developed by the Henschke family at Keyneton illustrate the wine quality that can be achieved. The origin of the Burgoyne Shiraz is from the low Eden Valley where the reds are plumper than the far cooler high Eden. Still the low parts of the Eden Valley are one hundred or more metres higher than the Barossa Valley so expect a Shiraz that highlights different flavour aspects.

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.
