About this wine

Rieslingfreak No. 6 Riesling, Clare Valley

Rieslingfreak No. 6 is the No. 5 with five years of bottle age. The fruit is sourced from the Hughes family vineyard. Fermented dry, the wine is made in a style that will allow it to cellar for many years. John Hughes has started the ball rolling by covering that awkward Riesling adolescence by releasing the wine after five years. This careful cellaring slowly develops the wine to show notes of butter, toast and ripe citrus flavours. The No. 6 is intended for enjoyment upon release, but will also reward with further cellaring.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Rieslingfreak

Rieslingfreak was founded by winemaker John Hughes.

The inaugural vintage was 2009 with a single vineyard Clare Valley Riesling. After that, the Rieslingfreak portfolio expanded to include the Eden Valley and Polish Hill River regions, showing dry, off-dry, Kabinett, sparkling and fortified styles. Each wine is given a number to denote region and style.

‘Our philosophy is to represent the hallmarks of a single region…’

John Hughes, Rieslingfreak

In 2016, John was a Young Gun of Wine finalist. He followed that with a clean sweep of the 2017 Royal Sydney Wine Show, winning five trophies–including Best in Show, the first time a Riesling had taken the gong since 2003. After a lifetime in the vineyard and eight years of graft, John Hughes became an overnight success. John is now considered to be amongst the great Riesling makers in Australia, taking the wine to new audiences and raising the standard for the industry.
