EDEN VALLEY
The Eden Valley forms part of the Barossa Valley region, located around 75km from the city of Adelaide. The area was originally named by early surveyors who found the word ‘Eden’ carved into a tree. With striking landscapes and rolling hills, the valley is like a garden of Eden, producing acclaimed cool climate wines. The original inhabitants of the region, the Peramanak aboriginal people, called the fertile land their physical and spiritual home.

Winemaking is a way of life in the Eden Valley, dating back to the mid 1800’s. In 1999, the estate was planted with the grape varietals shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. The vineyard introduced riesling and frontignac vines in 2001. The grapes are harvested later in the season, compared to the Barossa Valley, due to the cooler temperatures. The vineyard's high elevation and high rainfall play a defining role in the character of the wines.
Millon Wines embraces the unique qualities of the vineyard, creating wines with character and refinement. The cooler climate and high slopes allow the grapes to slowly ripen, developing intense flavours that retain natural acidity. The climactic conditions combined with ancient and naturally acidic soils, consistently grow grapes of tremendous quality and regional distinction. The fertile high country with a number of soil types, from grey to brown, loamy sands and clay loams, help define the wines' character. The vineyard's natural elements contribute to the elegance and light style of our wines, whilst celebrating the distinctive qualities of the region.
