Kylie and Leon Pendergast are among the descendants of Eden Valley founder Heinrich Fiebiger. Their former careers in the fashion accessories industry in Melbourne, which involved travelling the world promoting products, has left its mark on the slick presentation of the material explaining their arrival in the Eden Valley, and their business plan. The first vines were planted on the estate in the 1970s and it’s clear from the wines that the vineyard is mature. Experienced contract winemaker Jo Irvine ensures the vineyard’s potential is fully realised. Exports to Hong Kong. -JAMES HALLIDAY
