Rieslingfreak No. 4 Eden Valley Dry Riesling 2025
DOZEN: $324.00 or $27.00 each
Tightly wound and pure aromas of lemon pith, grapefruit rind, slate, passion fruit, fresh herbs and white flowers. The palate is sharp and focused, with bright acidity and a firm line of minerality carrying notes of mandarin and chalk. The finish is both electric and precise. Excellent. (97) JAMES SUCKLING - TOP WINES OF THE YEAR - NUMBER NINE!
SPECIAL VALUE - Riesling sourced from the High Eden subregion of the Eden Valley and produced by that freak of riesling John Hughes. High-tensile and wonderfully focused as always. There are aromas of freshly juiced limes, green apple and grapefruit with a dab of soft spice, crushed quartz, sliced fennel, orange blossom, Christmas lily and ozone. Tightly coiled, with a crystalline focus, it zooms across the palate, leaving a limey wake. Finishes bone dry, nervy and lip-smacking. (95) DAVE BROOKES, James Halliday's Wine Companion
