2024 Mountadam High Eden ‘Milton’
$45.00
A cool, dry continental climate with soils of low fertility (over 500 million years old) is a forbidding site to grow grapes. It does however, provide the opportunity to produce special wines of great concentration and elegance.

Professional Reviews
High Eden sourced from block 21 on the Mountadam estate at 550m above sea level. Deep crimson and flush with super-pure blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry fruits. Hints of baking spice, bramble, bay leaf, licorice, cocoa nibs, cedar, sage, crushed herbs and vanillin oak. Glossy and pure with plush, ripe blackberry and cassis tones, dredged with spice and crushed herbs, fine-grained tannins and a finish that sails on for a good while. - 95 points, Dave Brookes - James Halliday Wine Companion
Tasting Notes
Mountadam Vineyards High Eden series is the selection of the best parcels of fruit from the Estate. ‘Milton’, formerly known as ‘The Red’, is a small and subtle tribute to the Brown family’s contribution to Mountadams legacy. The wine is named after David’s father, Milton Brown. Traditionally known as the best Cabernet or Cabernet blend from the Estate the 2024 vintage saw this wine as a straight Cabernet Sauvignon due to the high quality of a single block.
