      Rieslingfreak No.7 Clare Valley Fortified Riesling will remind you of good white port, but somehow with Riesling aromatics and flavours. There's a hint of nutty oak on the nose, supporting aromas and flavours of sultanas, caramel and butter scotch, orange peel and dried fruits. The wine is a perfect match for a sweet dessert, chocolate or a plate of cheese.

      Grapes for the No.7 are sourced from the family property, White Hutt, Clare Valley. The juice is partially fermented to 7-8 baume (approx. 140g/L sugar) then fortified with a neutral brandy spirit. Stored in old oak casks to develop for 2 to 4 years. The wine was bottled at three years of age, expressing many of the flavours and aromas of a good fortified Riesling.

      Rieslingfreak No.7 Clare Valley Fortified Riesling NV 375ml

      Full yellow hue with golden reflections; the bouquet is straw-like and savoury, with a suggestion of nutty oak. There is a predominant flavour of bitter citrus peels and the sweetness is quite moderate. The phenolics and apparently high-alcohol accentuate a slight bitterness on the finish.

      — Huon Hooke, The Real Review.

      RieslingFreak

      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.
