The 2025 Eden Valley vintage was among the earliest on record, following a second consecutive year of drought and below-average rainfall. Early budburst and spring frosts impacted yields, which were highly variable—many vineyards harvested well below average. However, quality is outstanding. Riesling, in particular, benefitted from the region’s hallmark diurnal temperature shifts, retaining excellent natural acidity, freshness and lifted aromatics. Despite the warm, dry season, Eden Valley has produced beautifully expressive Rieslings that capture the purity and finesse of the region.
