Sons of Eden is a small-batch South Australian producer founded in 2000 by Barossa winemaker Corey Ryan and viticulturist Simon Cowham. Operating within the Artisans of the Barossa collective, it works with hand-picked fruit from around 30 vineyard sites across the Barossa and Eden Valley, including sites managed by Cowham and generational growers. The wines are made with a hands-off approach, including hand-plunging and natural fermentation, to express vineyard character. The producer emphasizes long-term stewardship and generational care, although no formal sustainability certifications are cited.
