Crafted by Riesling specialist John Hughes, it comes from three family-run vineyards nestled in the cool, rugged Flaxman Valley, more than 500 metres above sea level. These rocky sites, with granitic loam over quartz and slate, yield fruit of remarkable concentration and linear drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"510\" data-end=\"883\"\u003eThe 2025 season brought challenge and clarity. Dry heat and early frost reduced yields, intensifying flavour and structure. Hughes’ precise sourcing and restrained, cool fermentation in stainless steel channelled purity above all else. Bottled young under screw cap, it captures the High Eden profile in its most crystalline form, designed to age gracefully over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eAt the apex of the Rieslingfreak range, the No.12 stands beside the revered No.1 and No.8. It embodies what has made the label a modern benchmark for Australian Riesling: vibrancy, balance, and mineral finesse that reflect both site and maker with clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1286\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1161\"\u003eNOSE\u003cbr data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003e– Citrus and Slate\u003cbr data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eLime blossom, kaffir lime, and crushed stone meet subtle flint and wet quartz, lifted and pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003ePALATE\u003cbr data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003e– Linear and Focused\u003cbr data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1320\"\u003eFinger lime, yuzu, and green apple layer with saline minerality and brisk acidity that drives precision and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003eFINISH\u003cbr data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003e– Long and Mineral\u003cbr data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1470\"\u003eCrystalline and persistent, with flinty energy and quiet power that linger with poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1582\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1659\"\u003e“Long and focused, with persistence and purity.
