Rieslingfreak No.12 Flaxman Valley Riesling 2025

Rieslingfreak exists to champion the full spectrum of what Riesling can be—uncompromising in quality, unapologetically niche, and completely devoted to showcasing the grape in all its forms. The approach is thoughtful and deliberate: fruit is sourced from vineyards with distinctive microclimates, expressive soils, and passionate growers across South Australia’s premier Riesling regions.

Minimal intervention is the goal, but precision is non-negotiable. Each wine is crafted with a deep understanding of how fruit, acid, and sweetness interact—always in pursuit of perfect balance. Machine-harvested in the cool of night and handled gently without pressing, the fruit retains its purity and drive. Fermentations are guided using cultured yeasts to preserve regional integrity and vintage character.

While purity and freshness remain at the heart of the collection, Rieslingfreak also embraces texture, complexity, and evolution. Select cuvées explore wild ferment, oak maturation, and extended ageing—adding layers of nuance without ever overshadowing the varietal expression. The result is a portfolio that ranges from crystalline and dry to lusciously sweet, each wine a true original, shaped by site and season.

For Rieslingfreak, Riesling isn’t just a grape. It’s a lifelong pursuit—crafted with care, driven by obsession, and shared with anyone ready to dive deep into one of the world’s most remarkable varieties.
