The 2023 No.10 is a blend of 50% Polish Hill River (Clare Valley) and 50% Flaxman Valley (Eden Valley), from specially selected sites across three of our most outstanding vineyards of the year. The 2023 No.10 effortlessly harmonises the chalky, silken subtlety of Polish Hill River with unbridled potency and structural rigour of Flaxman Valley, creating a Riesling that is perfectly balanced with knife-edge precision. The bouquet is exquisitely perfumed, an enticing symphony of fresh lime, pink pomelo, lemongrass and rosewater. The palate is equally seductive; perfectly pure and pristine with a soft, velvety texture and gentle acidity that imparts a lithe elegance and graceful persistence to the finish. The ultimate expression of an exceptional Riesling vintage.

Rieslingfreak is deeply immersed in the variety and the craft of creating a range of Riesling that represents both region and style. Sourced from some of Australia’s top Riesling regions, (Clare Valley, Eden Valley and Polish Hill River) the Rieslingfreak collection includes expressions of dry, sweet, sparkling and fortified Riesling. A true testament to the versatility of this noble grape and to the commitment of owner and winemaker, John Hughes.
