Description
Sons of Eden are rising stars of the Barossa. Co-owners, Corey Ryan (“cut his teeth” as winemaker at Henschke for 10 yrs) winemaker and Simon Cowham (ex-viticulturist Yalumba) can do no wrong!
This newly released 2014 vintage looks smart ! This is fine Eden valley riesling at its best… Fruit sourced from their 50 year old vineyard, handpicked, whole bunch pressed, free run juice. Mouthwatering flavours of limes, citrus, spring flowers with bracing mineral and steely acidity. Treat yourself! Cellar up to 2026 but why wait!
95 points for 2013 release James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2015 “The fragrant, citrus and apple blossom aromas of the bouquet are very good, but the wine really establishes its class and presence on the palate; lime and high-tensile acidity run together in a pure stream of flavour, line and length. Outstanding.”
94 points Gary Walsh The Wine Front for 2013 “Big Corey Ryan has turned out another beauty here. Slaty, bath powder scented, ripe lemon and lime fruit – almost a dab of stonefruit – fine texture, flavour and finesse, drizzle of honey and a long tangy lemon finish. Good now or later.”
93+ points Jeremy Pringle Wine Will Eat Itself for 2013 “…Intense citrus blossom aromatics, lime, lemon, sour apple and flint. Maybe a suggestion of quality tonic water on the back-palate. Not so much about complexity of flavour. Just purity, focus, length and fruit intensity. A short note but a resoundingly successful take on the style.”
