Rieslingfreak No.5 Clare Valley Off Dry Riesling 2025
Tasting Note
Rieslingfreak No.5, like the No.3, is made with grapes from the family vineyard in White Hutt, Clare Valley. Grapes chosen for the No.5 are harvested from a specially-selected block with lighter, sandier soils compared to the rest of the vineyard. Grapes from this block create lighter-bodied wines with more delicate fruit flavours – perfect for Off-Dry style Riesling.
The grapes for No.5 are harvested earlier in the season, to provide a wine that is higher in natural acidity to balance the residual sugar inherent to the style. As grape acidity is weather dependent, the acid level varies with vintage; causing the residual sugar to also vary to ensure balance is achieved in the finished wine. Depending on the season, the residual sugar in the No.5 typically falls between 11-15g/L, providing a fruit driven style with a hint of sweetness and a crisp, clean finish. The No.5 drinks well on release, or will reward with cellaring.
