Mountadam Vineyards, Winery in Eden Valley, Australia
Mountadam Vineyards spans 80 hectares at 550 meters elevation in the High Eden sub-region, producing wines in cool climate conditions. The property offers tastings of Chardonnay, Riesling, and Shiraz, with online purchasing and delivery options available to visitors.
David Wynn founded the vineyard in 1972, introducing Australia's first contour vineyard design. His innovations extended to groundbreaking packaging solutions like the wine cask, which influenced the broader wine industry.
The wine labels feature wood engravings of eagles observed on the property, created through collaboration between David Wynn and artist Tate Adams. This artistic approach reflects how the vineyard connects its natural surroundings to the wines themselves.
Visits are most pleasant during cooler weather, as the location sits at higher elevation with open terrain. It's best to check ahead about current opening hours, as access may vary depending on the season.
The property maintains original Riesling vines from 1968 that continue producing grapes at one of South Australia's highest elevations. These aged plants enable delayed harvests that give the wines distinctive characteristics.
