Rieslingfreak No. 55 Riesling 2025

Tasting Notes

The 2025 No.55 is richly imbued with aromas of red apple, honeydew melon, and white cherry, accented with lifted perfume of elderflower and jasmine. The palate is softly textural and richly flavoured with notes of fresh nectarine and apple & rhubarb crumble, while the natural sweetness of this off-dry style is perfectly balanced by a line of crackling acidity that drives the palate to a crisp, clean finish. A wine of immediate appeal and absolute approachability, this wine is poised for ultimate enjoyment on release and complements a variety of cuisines.

Complex and aromatic, with layers of honeyed lime, white peach, lavender and orchard blossom, this is off-dry Riesling is a beauty right from the start. The slight sweetness on the palate comes almost as a surprise, giving a richness to the texture, but it’s so well lifted by pert acidity that it feels ultra refreshing anyway. It ends on a lovely honeyed lemon note.

Winemaker Notes

For a year that is marked by hot and dry conditions, the intensity of flavour and electric acidity in the 2025 Rieslings is both remarkable and incredibly exciting. While the quantity of wine produced from the vintage may be meagre, the quality certainly cannot be questioned. In direct contrast to the norm, Rieslings from the Clare Valley are remarkably elegant and delicate in structure, with perfumed aromatics and tight, acid driven palates. Conversely, the Eden Valley Rieslings are rich and robust in flavour and texture, with punchy aromatics and bold fruit flavour to balance the generous weight and density inherent to the 2025 vintage in this region. Sure to delight Rieslingfreaks right out of the gates, the 2025 vintage is one of undeniable precocity and unique appeal.

No.55 is a collaboration from our growers in the Clare Valley, combining distinct subregional characters to create an off-dry, fruit-driven style of Riesling with generosity on the palate. Sourced from vineyards that traverse the length of the Clare Valley, No.55 is grown on a variety of soils and aspects, capturing the essence of the Clare Valley in a single Riesling. No.55 is harvested early in the season, to provide a wine that is higher in natural acidity to balance the residual sugar inherent to the style. As grape acidity is weather dependent, the acid level varies with vintage; causing the residual sugar to also vary to ensure balance is achieved in the finished wine. Produced as a fruit-driven style with a hint of sweetness and a crisp, clean finish, No.55 is made for immediate appeal and absolute approachability; poised for ultimate enjoyment on release.
