Tasting Note

A year like 2024 which is marked by boldly assertive flavour and an abundance of natural acidity in the grapes, provides for a perfect vintage to produce beautifully balanced Off Dry Riesling. The bouquet is richly imbued with sweet red apple and tropical fruit aromas, evoking a summer cocktail of pineapple, passionfruit and guava. These sweetly succulent aromas transition seamlessly onto lusciously flavoured palate, where the sweet tropical flavours are balanced by a delightful zing of sherbet-like acidity. The natural sweetness of the style adds an unctuous richness to the mid-palate, while the driving natural acidity imparts linearity and length with a crisp, clean finish.

About the Winery

The business, nestled in the verdant landscape of South Australia's Barossa Valley, is a notable wine enthusiast's delight and a significant contributor to the region's venerable wine-making heritage.

The name Rieslingfreak, though perhaps unusual, is a genuine reflection of the deep passion which shapes their wine-making process. 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.

Enthused by their love for this varietal, the team regularly host tastings in their cellar door, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the Rieslingfreak experience. Their guiding principle, simply put, is to share the joy this grape brings, a mission they accomplish with every bottle they uncorkwide.

Where Rieslingfreak stand out is their dedication to showcasing Riesling in its unadulterated glory. Rather than blending with other varietals, they preserve its inherent flavours, letting the grape speak for itself. In a market often dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, Rieslingfreak offers a refreshing departure, creating wines that exude authenticity and finesse. The result; Rieslingfreak has indeed become a freakishly delightful destination for indulging in sublime wine and warm South Australian hospitality.
