Rieslingfreak No. 4 Eden Valley Riesling 2024
Rieslingfreak No. 4 Eden Valley Riesling 2024
Notes from the producer
Rieslingfreak No.4 is made from selected vineyards across the Eden Valley region; predominantly the High Eden subregion of Flaxman Valley, which is renowned for producing delicate, elegant styles of Riesling. Selected parcels from vineyards on the outskirts of Angaston and Springton, reputed for intense flavour and rich aromatics, add complexity to the bouquet and opulence to the palate. Eden Valley is renowned for Riesling of elegance, perfume and minerality; and the 2024 No.4 is a classic example of this unique style. The bouquet leaps forth with intense aromas of passionfruit, rosewater, and Tahitian lime; complemented by the evocative summertime scent of rain falling on warm slate. The palate is elegant yet assuredly structured with foundational slate-like minerality running beneath the punchy flavours of freshly squeezed lime juice and elderflower cordial. The tightly wound natural acidity, which is a hallmark of both the region and the 2024 vintage, runs the length of the palate drawing through to a fine, crisp finish; while the flavours lingering lusciously in the mouth long after the wine has gone.
