Description Located in the High Eden sub-region of the Barossa, Mountadam was originally established in 1972 by the late David Wynn for his winemaking son Adam. Since 2005, it has returned to being a family owned and run winery, with David and Jenni Brown overseeing its success. With Phil Lehmann, the son of Peter Lehmann, as chief winemaker, they are going from strength-to-strength. High Eden’s chilly heights lead to harvests up to a month later than those in neighbouring Eden Valley. This dazzling Pinot Gris displays vibrant lemon colour, delightful apple, white melon, pear and yellow peach aromas. Juicy and textural with a clean mix of white fruit, great balance between fruit sweetness and savoury elements, soft slatey minerality and a fruit-forward finish. Here, a dash of Gewurz adds a little texture and there are very attractive soft spice notes along with the nashi pear and citrus fruit.
