Fruit from high-altitude vineyards spanning Flaxman Valley, Angaston and Springton.

The Rieslingfreak No.4 Eden Valley Riesling 2026 is an exceptionally pure, bone-dry white wine sourced from selected, high-altitude vineyards across the southern ranges of South Australia's renowned Eden Valley. Combining fruit from the High Eden subregion of Flaxman Valley with plantings surrounding Angaston and Springton, it balances intense aromatic power with razor-sharp structure and chalky minerality. The 2026 vintage benefited from near-ideal growing conditions that delivered exceptional fruit purity and a tightly wound acid drive. Handled with minimal intervention in the winery, the juice was pristine, capturing the quintessential elegance, perfume, and wet-slate character defined by this iconic cool-climate region.

On the nose, the wine erupts with high-toned floral notes of jasmine, elderflower, and rosewater, anchored by fresh lime zest, passionfruit, and guava over a backdrop of wet slate. The palate is dry, energetic, and tightly coiled, delivering bursting flavours of finger lime pearls, kiwi sorbet, and poached quince underpinned by a firm, saline-mineral backbone. Electric, persistent acidity drives the fruit through a long, mouthwatering, and precise conclusion. Built for immediate, vibrant enjoyment alongside fresh oysters, sashimi, or grilled kingfish, this vintage also possesses the structural tension and balance to age gracefully over the next decade.

Reviews & Accolades
“This comes from a blend of Eden sites. It's very good. It's all that an Aussie riesling lover seeks, or so. Blackcurrant leaf and berry with tart lime, a touch of pickled Japanese ginger, some alpine herb and menthol notes, a scratch of dried and fresh green apple. It's got some very, very frisky acid veins, briny almost, plenty of flavour, lots of get up and go. Quiet complexity in all this and a great sense of tension and energy. Right on. Pow. Rock the house.” — Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, 95 Points
