Wine Summary

Established in 1972, Mountadam High Eden Estate is one of Australia’s oldest cool climate Chardonnay vineyards. Situated on a unique rocky outcrop the estate commands an easterly aspect over Eden Valley. The fruit was picked in the cool of night at optimum maturity using a selective destemming harvester. Chilled and pressed and fermented in seasoned puncheons and a 2,500 L French oak Fouderie Francois cask with regular lees stirring. The emphasis in the cuvee was to select a single block from the Estate that expressed beautiful purity of fruit, minerality with oak only playing a gently supportive role. Another delightful release from winemaker Caitlin Brown.

Merlot provides some juicy fill and Malbec (7%) and Franc (6%) some aromatic high tones.” From a Margaret River Estate set up by cardiologist Peter Thompson in 1997, who planted the first vines.

Wine Summary

There is unsurprising complexity in the wealth of flavours and additional 'extras' in this unusual blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and Cabernet. Ned Goodwin MW The Halliday Companion calls it "Effortless drinking” complimenting its blue and red fruit and notes of herb and tobacco.He's not alone in praising the blend: “Deep, darkly red/purple colour. The bouquet shows meaty, earthy and subtly spiced dark plums, the palate rich and dense, with thickness of texture and a trace of chew on the finish. A more savoury style and a worthy contrast to its stablemate Shiraz Mataro.” Huon Hooke, The Real Review. Inventive and satisfying.

Abslutely delightful Langhorne Creek pink from Halliday’s Winery of the Year 2024 with a Trophy and Gold to its name as well, What more could you ask for.
