Paying respect to the individual vineyard, the grower, and the grapes, this Riesling reflects the very best of the vintage. This style of Riesling has texture and complexity, combining subtle oak notes with citrus flavors and an acid line that will drive this wine many years into the future.

Rieslingfreak No.1 Grounds of Grandeur pays respect to both the vineyard and the grower of the Riesling fruit. Made from a single vineyard, Rieslingfreak No.1 is only made from exceptional vintages, when both climate conditions and vineyard expressions are superior.   The grapes are hand-harvested and chilled for 48 hours, before whole bunch pressing. the grapes are hand harvested, the berries are then pressed to 420L per tonne, with only the virgin juice extracted. The juice is then settled in the tank before racking into a 1500L barrel. After the juice has gone through wild fermentation, the wine is then held in barrel for a minimum of 12 months before bottling.   For the 2017 vintage, we would like to acknowledge growers Richard and Anne Hughes, White Hutt, Clare Valley.
