About this wine
Rieslingfreak No.2 Polish Hill River Riesling, Clare Valley
These Rieslings are sourced from the Hill River Vineyards, which were acquired from Penfolds a number of years ago. The vineyard is situated in the sub-region of Polish Hill River, approximately 5kms south-east of the Clare township. The vineyard is planted on grey-brown loam, over sandy limestone and shale rock and planted 460m above sea level. The average rainfall is 625mm.
This vineyard was hand selected, due to its ability to produce large vines, large bunches and large berries, the perfect combination to produce very refined Rieslings, typical of the Polish Hill River style.

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.
