Barr-Eden Estate is an extraordinary vineyard, perched at nearly 500 meters above sea level in the pristine landscapes of Australia’s Barossa Valley and Eden Valley. This elevated location, combined with ancient schist and gneiss soils and careful aging practices that avoid new oak, results in wines of exceptional balance and maturity. Clearly inspired by Rhône Valley traditions, these wines rival some of the region’s finest. Led by Joel Mattschoss and Pierre-Henri Morel, formerly of Chapoutier, the estate is setting new benchmarks for precision and elegance.
