Rieslingfreak is indeed ‘a freak’, and not simply because of its rarity as an Australian winemaker focused on a single variety. What raises Rieslingfreak beyond special to freak status is an unconcealable passion for Riesling and an innate sensitivity to the versality of the variety and the influence of a diverse vineyard landscape. The emerging reality is Rieslingfreak has become integral to the Riesling conversation in Australia.
“Complete and utter dedication to Riesling, from the Eden and Clare valleys, made with meticulous care, thought and more. Every year, a whole host of different rieslings, each with its own reason for being. Modern Australian wine would be lesser without this single producer. Rieslingfreak is not just a quirk; it’s an essential.”
James Halliday, 2023
