Description

If you’re after a Riesling that delivers pure class without the pomp, the 2025 Freya from Sons of Eden is a great option.

Sourced from three hand-picked Eden Valley vineyards, this wine is all about precision and flavour. The vines, some over 60 years old, produced pristine fruit that’s been turned into a Riesling brimming with bright citrus-lime, a hint of elderflower, and a dash of spice.

It's light, crisp, and beautifully balanced, with a line of acidity that keeps things fresh and vibrant. The extended time on lees adds a subtle texture that rounds out the palate, making it more than just a pretty face - there's substance here too.

Pop it open now and enjoy its zippy freshness, or let it evolve in the cellar. Serious value on offer here as always.

"The Sons of Eden crew does riesling well. It's a dry, limey singularity, impressively focused with a stony, composed air as it sails true on the palate... It's great, refreshing drinking – of that there is no doubt."
Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points - "The Sons of Eden crew does riesling well. It's a dry, limey singularity, impressively focused with a stony, composed air as it sails true on the palate. All the things you'd expect from an Eden Valley riesling are here: those Christmas lily and citrus blossom top notes, a splosh of Bickford's lime cordial, that umami that presents like the slow ache of a flake of sea salt melting on the tongue, the freshly squeezed lime juice and the surprising rate it disappears from the glass. It's great, refreshing drinking – of that there is no doubt." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Silky yet searing

Really solid table wine with up front citrus but soft on the nose. Amazing with oily green olives

It's got it all

Aromatic lemon and limes, depth on the palate , twist of pith and talc on the long finish invite

Good Eden Riesling

Not quite as taut as some others out there but a lovely floral roundness and spice.

Winemaking
The fruit from each Riesling block was kept separate and chilled to 6C, prior to being whole-bunch pressed with only the finest free-run juice retained. The juice was cold settled for 7 days before being racked clear to begin fermentation. Fermented cool between 12-14°C for 2 weeks and then left for 4 months on yeast lees to build palate texture. The individual parcels were then blended and naturally stabilised before being bottled in late July 2025.

Background
Freya was the foremost goddess of ancient Germanic lands where the Riesling grape originated. This wine honours early German settlers who cultivated the first Riesling vine in the exemplary micro-climate of the Barossa’s Eden Valley.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
