For John Hughes, the attraction to Riesling is all encompassing. Growing up on a small vineyard in the Clare Valley, and going on to work with some of the brightest Riesling makers in the country before launching his own venture, John is never far away from his beloved grape. John makes classic Australian styles from carefully selected vineyards with an emphasis on purity and site reflection, as well as German-inspired expressions that balance acidity and sugar with singular precision.

Lush, almost tropical aromas of pineapple, bananas and melon - the palate exhibits steely minerally flavours without being overly acidic. An excellent advertisement for Clare Riesling.

Named after the first dated image of Volratz Tower, 1573 Riesling is made from the nearby Rheingau vineyards, many owned by staff working at Schloss Vollrads. It is a very refreshing and well-balanced wine showing terrific fruit definition and quartz-like acidity.

Rieslingfreak is the product of winemaker John Hughes obsession with Riesling matched with exceptional winemaking talent which translates into wines of exquisite purity and elegance. His home state of South Australia is blessed with two of the rare places where Riesling truly shines, and John has melded the generous floral aromatics and rich flavour of the Clare Valley with the fine and refreshing acidity of the Eden Valley Riesling to craft this generous, yet complex Riesling. A wine to drink now, but one that will also reward some cellaring.

Sweet Caroline wines are thoughtfully crafted for an easy-drinking and sophisticated wine experience. These are a refreshing range of wines entirely for those of us who love the softer, light and fruity taste of wine. Each variety is a pure and classic expression showing bright, elegant and gentle sweet fruit flavour that finishes light, soft and very long. You ‘ll know even before you take your first sip, Sweet Caroline is just what you’ve been looking for!

This premium Riesling is fresh with crisp apple and zesty citrus aromas. With complexity of flavour, balanced by natural acidity and a dry finish.

Each year we make a Reserve Riesling from the very best parcel of fruit out of one of our four Riesling blocks. For the fourth year in a row Block 7 was the stand out. Pale straw with a perfumed nose of rose petal and jasmine. Lime over zesty lemon on the palate with an acid backbone that delivers a long steely finish. A linear, austere Eden Valley Riesling of class. Drink now, but built to last.
