Rieslingfreak

Rieslingfreak is all about the expression of Riesling. We at Rieslingfreak immerse ourselves in Riesling, showing different expressions of Riesling through regions and styles. What I love about Riesling most is the diversity of the grape. At Rieslingfreak, we are deeply passionate about the variety and craft a range of Rieslings. Each of our Rieslings are numbered—the number representing both region and style. We source our Riesling from some of Australia’s top producing Riesling regions, including Clare Valley, Eden Valley, and Polish Hill River.
Germany is Riesling’s home and was one of the many reasons I fell in love with the variety. The German influence and traditional winemaking styles have had a significant impact on our Rieslingfreak style, particularly our Sekt (sparkling), fortified, dry, and sweet Rieslings. Each of our wines are handcrafted to produce regional and stylistic wines, that we believe signifies what Riesling is all about.
Rieslingfreak was established in 2009. John grew up on a family vineyard in the Clare Valley, South Australia, and is driven by the Riesling grape’s versatility. I noted my passion for Riesling in my university days, where I always had a bottle or two of Riesling to share and soon became known as the “Riesling Freak.”
