EDEN VALLEY, SA
Located just east of the Barossa Valley, the Eden Valley competes with the nearby Clare Valley as Australia’s premium home of Riesling. A cool climate, ancient soils and later ripening fruit ensure distinctive wines can be handcrafted. They display wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse characterised by slightly lower alcohol and more floral characters whilst young, and showcase richer toasty characters with age. Also home to such renowned Shiraz vineyards as Henschke's Hill of Grace, the Eden Valley is also famed for its Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Viticulture commenced in the valley in 1842 and the region is currently home to more than 20 wineries, some with century-old vineyards producing truly exceptional vintages.

There's that famous old French saying in Burgundy, about the good warm vintages, that you would have to be dead not to make good wine. And in the easy years, that's what happens - everyone makes good wine and everyone's picking around the same time. But it's the difficult years – and in the Valley here, we still get three or four difficult years in every ten – they're the years where you make the statement on your skills and your expertise.

Despite the influence of both a pandemic and the much-maligned price of avocado toast (which many say is a hindrance to a home loan), the property market is still booming – even behind closed doors. So, how can you celebrate a sale or thank a vendor who is moving during lockdown?
