TASTING NOTES FOR Sons Of Eden Freya Riesling Eden Valley South Australia 2023
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a bright green hue. Brilliant and crystalline, reflecting its cool-climate purity and precision.
👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and lifted, with lemon blossom, lime and delicate floral notes.
Hints of jasmine, lavender and flinty minerality add complexity and a classic Eden Valley perfume.
👅 Palate
Fine and precise, driven by citrus—lemon, lime and green apple.
A beautifully balanced palate with zesty acidity, subtle mid-palate flesh and a pure, mineral-driven core.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Taut and linear with a fine, powdery texture.
The finish is long, dry and mouth-watering, with lingering citrus, mineral notes and a crisp acid line.
🍇 Overall Style
A benchmark Eden Valley Riesling—pure, mineral and finely structured.
Combines floral lift, citrus precision and steely acidity, with both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh oysters, prawns, sashimi or spicy Asian cuisine. Also excellent with goat’s cheese or light, citrus-driven dishes.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously impressive Riesling that delivers purity, precision and class.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a premium, high-quality white that drinks beautifully now but will also reward time in the cellar—fresh, zesty and built to impress.
Cheers
