Glen Eldon Winery

Glen Eldon Wines was established by the Sheedy Family in 1997. Glen Eldon Wines is a family owned and operated winery; with Mary and Richard Sheedy building Glen Eldon into a premium winery specialising in regional wines of distinctive quality. Prior to launching his family label of Glen Eldon Wines, Richard gained his experience as Winemaker/General Manager at Elderton and previously at St Hallett Wines. We produce premium wines that display the world known and admired characters of the Barossa. With our main vineyard and cellar located on the Glen Eldon property in Eden Valley, it was only fitting to honour this brand with the Glen Eldon Wines name. The property was first settled in the 1880’s by the Herbig family, who planted vines, fruit trees and ran cattle and sheep. In 1890 the homestead, stables and cellar were built and the Herbig Family began to make the property prosper. Today Richard and Mary call Glen Eldon home and all our vineyard and winery operations are centralised from this point. Glen Eldon Wines has vineyards located throughout the Barossa Floor and Eden Valley, each one selected for it’s micro-climate and distinctive flavour attributes for the final wine in mind. With vineyards in Tanunda, Mt McKenzie, Springton and North East of Mt Pleasant we have the ability to select only the best parcels of fruit for our winemaking. These vineyards all offer distinctive sub-regional characters. The variation in soil, rainfall, row facing and pruning, combined with attention to detail in vineyard management, consistently produce premium fruit. Glen Eldon Wines is committed to producing premium regional wines. We will continue to make small quantities of distinctive regional wine, utilizing the diversity of our vineyard plantings to highlight the micro environs of the Barossa. With this in mind we hope to see our wines on the best restaurant tables and only in the finest of wine retailers.
