Just East Of Eden»
David Wynn introduced cardboard wine casks, flagons and the Airlesflo wine tap to the nation. He is best remembered for re packaging the Coonawarra estate which bears his name and which endures as one of Australia's icon brands. Wynn was a master of his craft and studied oenology at the world renowned Magill wineworks. An astute marketer and talented blender, he also had a keen eye for the land, investing in the ancient John Riddoch fruit colony and planting vines on a challenging site, high atop the lofty latitudes of Valley Eden. Mountadam Vineyards were built from the ground up, with a view to crafting a limited range of well structured, weighty wines, defined by fuller palates and saline, mineral savouryness. The legacy of Eden Valley vineyards planted by Wynn in the 1960s & 1970s, incorporating significant old rootstock and extinct European clones, remains a bespoke choice for adherents of the abstruse, old guard in Australian..

Fruit is harvested to a timetable determined by ripeness, ensuring that grapes arrive at the winery in a cool and fresh condition, preserving the classic Marlborough characters which are the signature of Secret Stone. The primary objective is to protect fresh vibrant characters. Grapes are de-stemmed, pressed and chilled to 10C or 12C before a gentle pressing. Juices are cold settled for two to three days and racked. Following fermentation, the wine is chilled to zero degrees prior to racking and determining the final cuvee. Crafted with minimum intervention to capture and retain the exquisite personality of Marlborough vineyards, the natural expressions of fruit and racy acidity deliver balance, backbone and length.
Light straw colour, hints of green. Attractive array of floral characters with fresh and fragrant tropical fruit notes, banana, passionfruit and gooseberry. Fresh, crisp and lively palate with mineral overtones and great length. Intense with grapefruit and limes, lanolin and talc, snow pea and green veg. Tight and lean, lacking any unnecessary distracting complexity, finishing crisp and clean.

Secret Stone
With a plan to hero the premium wines and regions of New Zealand there was no question that our initial focus would be sauvignon blanc from New Zealand's premier region, Marlborough...

"Made from the 2004 vintage, this wine has been passionately created to reflect the distinctive Sauvignon Blanc style for which the region has become well regarded throughout the world."

Secret Stone

A wine almost as rare as the precious greenstone that inspired its name. Found in the South Island, greenstone is crafted into beautiful carvings that are passed on from one generation to the next. Like the land itself, they are much treasured and from this much treasured land comes the finest parcels of fruit which have been selected for Secret Stone.

The result is the Secret Stone Sauvignon Blanc, a wine fresh, vibrant and elegant. Distinctively Marlborough.

Once received at the winery the fruit is de-stemmed, pressed and chilled to 10-12C before gentle pressing. The resulting juices are cold settled for 48-72 hours and racked in preparation for fermentation. Following fermentation in stainless steel the wine is chilled to 0C prior to racking and selection for the final blend. The primary objective being to protect the fresh vibrant characters of the expressive fruit.
