Sons of Eden Freya Riesling 2023
Sons of Eden Freya is in seriously good form. The third year in a row this has been my favouritye value for money riesling in the shop .In fact I would say this is the best riesling under $25 Ian Cook - FWC
Lime, is the main ingredient on the nose with a dusting of white flowers, a smigden of honey & green apple. Really good texture in the mouth with excellent limey intensity plus preserved lemon and great length. Absolutely delicious now and will be an amazingly good value aged riesling in 5-10 years time. Highly recommend stocking up on this one. From two vineyards in Crawford & High Eden. Ian Cook - FWC
Sourced from three vineyards – Petney, Roesler and Cranes Range – vines 25, 60+, 45+ years of age, respectively. You get a lot of old vine value in Riesling for a very modest price. I’m liking the 2023 vintage for SA Riesling, plenty of zip and purity is my feeling.
A floral kind of bath salts perfume, lemon and lime, a little lemongrass and spice. It’s juicy, but has plenty of flinty crunch, delivers flavour yet keeps itself trim and pure, with fine powdery grip and a tonic with a twist of lemon finish of fine length. Very good, and better still, it presents an each way bet; lovely to drink now, or later. Drink 2024-2032+. 94 Points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
