Tasting Note

The bouquet is highly perfumed with aromas of fresh green apple, jasmine, and lemonbalm with a hints of honeysuckle and fresh linen. The palate is crisp yet silky-soft, with a fine, talc-like minerality imparting a pleasing slipperiness to the texture in the mouth. 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 bright natural acidity, imparting exceptional length and a clean, crisp finish.

This wine lures with a beautifully perfumed nose of citrus and florals, leading to a palate echoing with vibrant lime zest and comforting hints of ripe apple. Its unyielding crisp acidity beautifully balances its discreet residual sweetness, emanating sublime refreshment. A definitive characteristic is its excellent cellaring potential, promising an enhancing complexity and depth over time. The No.2 Polish Hill River Riesling is a testament to Rieslingfreak's undying commitment to crafting stunning high-altitude wines.

Deviating from traditional vinification methods, they are committed to unravelling the different personalities of Riesling. Each wine is numbered, representing not just the region it originates from but the style in which it's made. With a range spanning from the fruit-driven No.2 off-dry Prieska Riesling to the sumptuous No.8 Polish Hill River Polish Riesling, the diversity is at once intriguing and impressive.

Comprising of estate-owned and contracted vineyards, innovation is paramount in the winery's strategy. Each plot is treated uniquely considering its specific terroir and microclimate, ensuring that their faithful clientele are always treated to a bottle of unequalled character and quality. This careful and personalised approach to wine-making pays dividends in creating a portfolio of wines that resonate with Riesling purists and adventurous oenophiles alike.
