Product Description:
Precision, purity, and poise in liquid form. The 2025 Rieslingfreak No.12 Flaxman Valley Riesling is a commanding portrait of High Eden’s elevated terroir, shaped by slate, altitude, and tension. 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.
The 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.
At 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.

PALATE
– Linear and Focused
Finger lime, yuzu, and green apple layer with saline minerality and brisk acidity that drives precision and texture.
FINISH
– Long and Mineral
Crystalline and persistent, with flinty energy and quiet power that linger with poise.
