David and Mardi Hall fell in love with the Eden Valley in the mid 1990s and purchased the Avon Brae property with its historic homestead in 1996. Avon Brae dates back to the 1840s when the Eden Valley was first settled. The Eden Valley is regarded by many as “the jewel in the crown” of the Barossa. Its rugged beauty and cool climate provide ideal conditions for the production of high quality Riesling and elegant red wines.
