Eden Hall Wines

James Irvine has had over fifty-four years in the wine industry in both wine making and wine marketing. This rare combination enables him to look past the wine, to understand and yet intrigue consumers with superior stylistic wines that are an absolute joy to the consumer. While having wide experience of global wines, at superior premium levels, he has never tried to impose the European approach on the wines he makes. Rather he seeks to maintain the individuality of the particular vineyard and its regionality in bringing forth its strengths and rewards.

After eighteen years of working as a nurse, Joanne went to Adelaide University to gain her degree in oenology. During her studies, and afterwards, she worked a number of vintages in Australia before going to the USA in 1995 and 1998. Working as winemaker for Winewise Consultancy, Joanne covers a number of regions in South Australia but is most happy working with Eden Valley vineyards. With her father as mentor Joanne has developed her understanding of Terroir, regionality and excellence knowing just how important it is to balance all these while still bringing the individuality and expression to its highest.
