About The Wine
Gorgeous single vineyard Riesling from the high slopes of the Eden Valley, held back for just a couple of years in bottle.
Eden Riesling can be tight and austere when released in the year of vintage particularly if they are being built for the long-term, which is definitely the case here.
So the 2019 is just beautiful now, pure lemon, grapefruit, lime blossom, and a pristine, precise palate that will build and build.
About Sons of Eden
Sons of Eden is a partnership between experienced winemaker (Corey Ryan) and viticulturist (Simon Cowham) who both “learnt and refined their trades in the vineyards and cellars of Eden Valley”. The boys have successfully grown their brand with a suite of full-flavoured but well-proportioned Barossa and Eden Valley wines - predominantly reds - that have gained impressive critical acclaim.
The wines are built on classic Barossan varieties and blends, but with a modern elegance that makes the wines simultaneously approachable and cellar-worthy. With Cowham's vineyard resources and Ryan's winemaking prowess, Sons of Eden has become one of the best value producers in Australia.

Critic Reviews
"North-east aspect maximises morning sun, minimising sunburn. Hand-picked, chilled, whole-bunch pressed, very low extraction of 440l/t, fermented fully dry. A very expressive bouquet with a mix of pear/apple/grapefruit. The fruit flavour intensity is mouthfilling, half suggesting there's some residual sugar, but there isn't (1.1g/l of residual sugar can't be detected)." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
"Pale lemon colour throughout the glass. Lemon balm, talcum and seashell aromatics. Lime cordial and sherbet. Chalky in texture, a good lick of crunchy phenolics balances the sweetness of primary fruit whilst acid is the powerhouse that drives it along. Classic Eden." - Stuart Knox (The Real Review)
"Ripe soft lemon scents, lemon verbena, some lime, a slight whiff of oyster shell and petrol. It’s quite soft, with a fine powdery texture, but has enough acidity to keep it trim and give it some crunch, gentle ripe lemon and pink grapefruit, some savoury flavour here too, with a quartz-y and quinine grip on a long finish. Really interesting expression of Riesling. Like it." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
