Rieslingfreak No 10 Zenit Riesling 2023

Made with the philosophy of representing the hallmarks of a single region and one iconic style of a particular grape in every bottle, each Rieslingfreak wine is allocated an individual number. This number represents not only the region in which the fruit was grown, but also the style, technical specifications and quality level to which the wine is made. Such artisanal ‘riesling-making’ allows owner, John Hughes, to share his appreciation and love for the unique grapes of the Clare Valley region. Earning the nickname ‘Riesling Freak’ during his university days, Hughes has carried on this love by expanding his portfolio to include vineyards in the Eden Valley and Polish Hill.

Rieslingfreak was born from a long-running love for the Riesling variety. Established by John Hughes in 2009, Rieslingfreak started as a passion-project and has grown to a portfolio of 11 different Riesling styles.

Since the beginning, our mission for Rieslingfreak has been to produce quality Rieslings that best represent both style and region. We craft Rieslings that showcase the strength of various South Australian wine regions, including Clare Valley, Eden Valley and Polish Hill River. Our collection has been created with each of the Rieslingfreak wines being assigned a number, and the number represents both the region where the grape is grown, and the style of the Riesling in the bottle.

Our Rieslingfreak collection includes dry, sweet, sparkling, and fortified Riesling styles. There are not many grape varieties in the world that provides a winemaker the same level of versatility that Riesling does.
