Spinifex Ugni Blanc
Chaffey Bros. Salvis Gratia Semillon
Heggies Vineyard Cloudline Riesling
St Hugo Signature Chardonnay Eden Valley
Complex and alluring with an aromatic lift of white peach, nougat, white flowers and oatmeal. The palate delivers a core of just-ripe white stone fruit, a lick of vanilla and creamy, nutty oak.
Chaffey Bros Not Your Grandma's Riesling
Not Your Grandmas Riesling has just a hint of residual sweetness which works just perfectly here. Fresh and floral, there's ample citrus and orchid fruits with perfectly balanced acidity for line and length. It works perfectly with or without food. Born and raised in the Barossa, Daniel started at the Penfolds cellar door, eventually co-founding a wine consultancy. Chaffey Bros. was born from Daniels dream to revive the name and the innovation of his great-great grandfather and his brother the original Chaffey brothers who founded Mildura in 1887. Together with his brother-in-law Theo Engela they now form the new iteration of Chaffey Bros. They love telling stories, and each of their wine labels reveals details about the vineyard, variety, region or history.
Thorn Clarke Pinot Gris (BIC finalist)
Thorn-Clarke's home is the higher, elevated and cooler Eden Valley. The cool and long growing season is perfect for aromatic whites like this delicious Pinot Gris. Bold straw with a green hue. Vibrant aromas of lemongrass and nashi. Refined and complete, with delicious layers of pear juice, yellow apple, musk and spun honey, fresh acidity, and loads of drink-now appeal.
Mount Majura Chardonnay
High-quality wine, nectarine and white peach driving the initial impetus, grapefruit and acidity the finish; controlled barrel ferment oak the clincher.
Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier
Yalumba has devoted over 20 years to growing and making this rare and exotic variety. This example is a fresh and vibrant wine that displays white peach and citrus flavours with spicy undertones.
Teusner The Empress Riesling
Well known for his Barossa Valley Red wines, Kym Teusner is equally at home producing lifted aromatic white wines from hand selected vineyards high in the Eden Valley. His The Empress Riesling comes from a block near Keyneton (about 400m above sea level) and from the Southern Eden Valley adjacent to the High Eden. Both parcels are handled differently with the Keyneton handled oxidatively to had textural notes and shape and the Southern fruit kept clean to offer racing acidity and vibrant citrus notes. A perfect balance.
Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling
Conceived as a white wine development program, the Bin 51 Riesling soon became one of Penfolds' star performers. Eden Valley is an obvious choice of region for Riesling due to the higher altitude and cool climate. The wine offers delicate aromas of fresh cut apples and pears with a twist of lemon and minerality towards the end. A great deal of fruits and acidity makes for an interesting white wine with propensity to age gracefully if carefully cellared.
