Excellent in the Germanic style, a benchmark for Australian Rizza of this type.

This is a delicious and versatile wine - well balanced, lemony, with crisp minerality. Perfect with Asian food!

I discovered ReislingFreak on the menu at Hunter & Scout in Graceville, Brisbane. I like Reisling, so I ordered it and found I loved it! Took a picture of the bottle and went home to find it online, which I did at Different Drop, but because my picture was not clear, I ordered 1 of #3, and two of # 5 to try. I much prefer #5, probably appeals more to my palate and preferences than #3. I will order this wine again. Funny that I now keep seeing ReislingFreak #3 on menus such as the Hyatt Regency in Brisbane, Jimmy Wah's in Burleigh Heads.

I'm a bit of a riesling fan so have bought lots of Rieslingfreak over the years. This No 5 is a beauty - especially at the price. Really nicely balanced and great feel in the mouth. Still on the dryish end of the scale but not overly so. Nice citrus and the acidity is spot on. John Hughes has provided a ripper value wine here
