Rich, fruit-driven Clare Riesling with zesty restraint. Rieslingfreak No.3 Clare Valley 2025 is the definition of modern Clare Riesling—ripe, precise, and acid-driven. Sourced primarily from the Hughes family vineyard in White Hutt, just north of Clare township, this dry style captures the signature generosity of the region’s famed Terra Rossa soils. Rich in nutrients and water-retentive, the heavy red clay imparts power and persistence, while a tight line of acidity keeps everything taut and refreshing.
The 2025 release is classically expressive, with aromas of Pink Lady apple, Meyer lemon and guava flowing into a layered palate of blood orange, sweet citrus and tropical fruit. There's a luscious textural weight that belies its dry classification, deftly balanced by Rieslingfreak’s hallmark precision. Crafted by John Hughes—a winemaker with an obsession for the variety—this is a Riesling that shines both young and with time.
Enjoy with fresh Thai, pork belly bao or a tangy goat cheese salad. Will age gracefully over the next decade.

Founded in 2009 by John Hughes, Rieslingfreak is a label born of singular focus and absolute dedication to one variety—Riesling. What began as a side project quickly became a benchmark for modern Australian Riesling, with John’s passion transforming into a full-scale collection now spanning over 19 distinct expressions of the grape.
From dry to sweet, sparkling to fortified, Rieslingfreak’s numbered bottlings serve as both a stylistic guide and a regional map, celebrating the unique terroir of Clare Valley, Eden Valley, and Polish Hill River. Each wine is crafted with precision and purpose, led by the belief that Riesling is one of the world’s most versatile and expressive grapes.
Together with his partner and fellow winemaker Belinda Hughes, John continues to push the boundaries of Australian Riesling. Drawing inspiration from German tradition and applying contemporary Australian winemaking techniques, the duo brings a balance of classic structure and modern flair to every release. Whether fermented in stainless steel or seasoned oak, each Rieslingfreak wine is a reflection of place, season, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
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.
Pink Lady apple, Meyer lemon, guava and nectarine.
Zesty citrus and tropical fruit over generous mid-palate texture.
A long, mineral-tinged finish with cleansing acidity.
