The 2026 Rieslingfreak No.12 was harvested from three small family-owned vineyards in Flaxman Valley in High Eden, a premium sub-region of Eden Valley. For the first time, this wine is an equal blend of all three vineyards; exhibiting an exquisite balance between the unique characters of each of the three sites. Renown for growing world-class Riesling of unrivalled elegance, this wine captures the very essence of the High Eden subregion in all its splendour.

The 2026 No.12 is intensely perfumed with Kaffir lime, kiwifruit, dragonfruit and rose petals, complemented by the earthy, mineral accent of ground limestone and wet-slate. The palate is ultra-refined and exceptionally delicate, with a slick and satiny texture wrapped around a core of crackling acidity. Exhibiting a symphony of zesty citrus flavours including yuzu and finger lime, combined with the sweet-floral pungency of fresh quince, the palate is grounded by a lick of flinty minerality with a sharpened steely edge. The crisp natural acidity imparts length and vibrancy, bringing laser-sharp focus to the driving, persistent finish.
