Vibrant Clare Riesling with a sweet-fruited twist. Rieslingfreak No.5 Off-Dry Riesling 2025 captures the elegance of Clare Valley with a splash of sweetness and a whole lot of zing. Made from a specific block on the Hughes family vineyard in White Hutt—where lighter grey clay soils over limestone yield more delicate fruit—this wine balances richness with restraint. Harvested early to preserve acidity, the 2025 vintage showcases beautifully poised fruit and freshness, with natural residual sugar enhancing both flavour and mouthfeel.
The nose leads with red apple, mandarin and sweet orange, laced with almond blossom and peony. On the palate, it’s all about contrast: ripe nectarine and juicy citrus meet sherbet-like acidity in a wine that feels both unctuous and electric. That hint of sugar (typically between 11–15g/L) rounds the wine’s texture without losing its crisp, clean focus.
A go-to for spicy Southeast Asian dishes, soft cheeses or just sipping chilled on a warm afternoon. Drink now or cellar for added complexity.

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.
Red apple, mandarin, orange zest and floral lift.
Sweet citrus and stone fruit with sherbet acidity and textural weight.
Lingering sweetness finely cut by vibrant natural acidity.
