Vineyard: Grown on a single estate vineyard (Avon Brae) in the High Eden region of the Barossa - 490m altitude. Cabernet wine grapes are ideal for the micro climate in Eden Valley. High altitude assists with slow ripening, acidity and concentrated fruit development; essential for long term cellaring.
Season: The dry weather and spring frosts proved challenging for the growing season ahead. December and early January was warm but rain was welcomed to freshen grape bunches and vine canopies. The Shiraz fruit ripened slowly with outstanding colour and aromas, delivering an exceptional vintage.
Wine making: NA
Appearance: Medium to dark purple
Aroma/Bouquet: Fragrant dark and black fruits with aromas of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and perfumed mulberry. Nuances of spice are obvious featuring clove, star anise and nutmeg.

Clove, nutmeg and cinnamon spice lie in the background, along with hints of liquorice, coffee espresso and dark chocolate.

Vineyard: The Avon Brae vineyard produces distinctive Shiraz and Cabernet based wines of impeccable balance, freshness, varietal character and fruit purity.
Season: The 2013 vintage was early following a dry winter, spring and summer in the Eden Valley. Whilst January was a little cooler than average, the summer was generally hot and dry. Thankfully there were only a few heat spikes into the forties. Yields again were low across all varieties apart from the Riesling, which didn’t seem too fazed by the conditions, and yet confirmed that Eden Valley is its natural home.
Winemaking: The 2013 Eden Hall Cabernet Sauvignon comes from selected rows in Block 3 and spent nearly two years in French oak, followed by more than a year in bottle prior to release.
Appearance: Dense crimson
Aroma/Bouquet: Dark soy, couverture chocolate, liquorice & tar nuances.
Palate: Luxurious dark fruits of plum and blackcurrant on the palate. A complex, full-bodied wine; finishing with mouth-filling and brooding tannin.
