Description
About Mountadam Vineyards
Mountadam Vineyards is an iconic Australian family owned and operated winery located in the High Eden sub-region of Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia.
David and Jenni Brown purchased the Mountadam property including winery and 80 hectares of vineyards in 2005. In 2007, David and Jenni purchased Mountadam farm and in 2015 purchased the Treasury Wine Estates High Eden vineyard including 67 hectares of vineyard, thus re-assembling the original Mountadam property of over 1,000 hectares. They share David Wynn’s vision for the sustainability of the winery and vineyards.
Throughout David and Jenni’s ownership there has been significant capital expenditure on the redevelopment of the winery and vineyards including open fermenters, filtration, solar power and water treatment.
Defined by its cool climate, ancient soils and later ripening, Eden Valley wines are distinctive in their character, displaying wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse.
Whilst being part of the Barossa zone, Eden Valley vineyards sit at higher altitutudes (380-600 metres above sea level) than most Barossa vineyards. The Eden Valley climate varies but generally harvest occurs two weeks later than the rest of the Barossa zone. Soils are varied due to altitude and topography; sandy loam, clay loam, ironstone gravels and quartz gravels are present in areas.
