Through careful vineyard management and quick decision-making in the winery, John and the Rieslingfreak team have delivered what they describe as some of the purest expressions of Riesling they have ever seen - a remarkable collection defined by refined elegance, purity, power and poise.
2026 Rieslingfreak No.2 Polish Hill$39 | Offer: $34.90
The bright flavours of Granny Smith apple and yuzu run a fine line between sweet and tart, while the elegant and complex palate is punctuated with an electric line of acidity.
2026 Rieslingfreak No.3 Clare Valley$31 | Offer: $27.90
Zesty citrus-driven flavours of lemon and blood orange, complemented by sweet apple and tropical notes of mango and passionfruit. The lusciously flavoured palate is classically generous yet deceptively filigreed and delicious. This wine from the White Hut block just north of Clare township has a firm minerality and "wet stone" finish that keeps the palate tight and long. What remarkable value this is!
2026 Rieslingfreak No.4 Eden Valley$31 | Offer: $27.90
The evocative summertime scent of rain falling on warm slate transitions onto the elegant yet assuredly structured palate; educing a foundational slatelike minerality running beneath the punchy flavours of freshly squeezed lime juice and elderflower cordial.
2026 Rieslingfreak No.5 Clare Valley Off Dry$31 | Offer: $27.90
A sweet red apple, white peach and mandarin meet orange blossom and honeysuckle, with luscious fruit beautifully balanced by electric, sherbet-like acidity.
2026 Rieslingfreak No.8 Polish Hill 'Schatzkammer'$39 | Offer: $34.90
The No.8 is a beautifully balanced, low-alcohol style with lemon sherbet, guava and hibiscus, where luscious tropical and citrus flavours meet succulent sweetness and electric acidity on a knife-edge of precision.
2026 Rieslingfreak No.12 Flaxman Valley$39 | Offer: $34.90
This No.12 is an ultra-refined and intensely perfumed, with kaffir lime, kiwifruit, dragonfruit and rose petals alongside wet slate and limestone minerality. Laser-focused and persistent.
