2024 Sons of Eden Freya Riesling

A super scrumptious Riesling that boasts outstanding drive, concentration and textural volume.

Three vineyards made contributions to the 2024 Freya Riesling. The Cranes Range vineyard and the Roesler vineyard (35%) both situated in the cooler Craneford section of Eden Valley were complimented by a component from the Petney vineyard situated in the higher altitude high-Eden sub-region. The vine age was between 25 to 60 years old.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Jumping out of the glass are intense lemon, lime and orange rind scents which intermix with some chalky talc and mineral notes. Boasting outstanding drive, concentration and textural volume, the palate is engulfed with mouth watering lime, lemon, orange rind and green apple fruits. Chalky talc and steely mineral elements sit underneath with a backbone of crunchy acidity providing structure. Long, super scrumptious finish. Dual Trophy winner at the Barossa Wine Show for Best Riesling and Best White Wine.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews……
I've written before how I like the 2024 Eden Valley rieslings. They are perhaps not as aromatically punchy as the norm but they are stony-pure with that familiar Christmas lily volume just turned down a notch. But that focused line, eh?! The Freya here is a beauty, all velocity and limey precision and I am here for it. A cracker. Drink by 2036.
