Description

If you’re after a Riesling that delivers pure class without the pomp, the 2024 Freya from Sons of Eden is your next obsession. 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. Either way, this is a wine that's going to make you rethink what Eden Valley Riesling can deliver at this level. It’s serious value for a seriously good drop.

Riesling 100%
Technical Details:

Alcohol 12% | pH 3.05 | Acidity 6.9 g/L | Residual sugar: 2.61 g/L
Vineyards:

Craneford 60+ year-old vines | High Eden 25 year-old vines | Craneford 45+ year-old vines

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 2024.

    Eden Freya Riesling

    Most agreeable and dry Riesling. Some mineralisation, pleasant fruit and a bit of a palate.

Sons of Eden

Sons of Eden offer some of the best value in the Barossa Valley today.

With the combination of Simon Cowham's viticultural experience and Corey Ryan's winemaking nous, they are one of the most formidable teams in the region.

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.

With a suite of exceptional old-vine resources at their disposal, their wines are simultaneously approachable and cellar-worthy. These are red-blooded Barossa Valley and Eden Valley wines which over-deliver year in, year out.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

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.
