2023 Rieslingfreak No.12 Flaxman Valley Riesling
Rieslingfreak
Eden Valley, South Australia
98 points & Halliday Riesling of the Year!
The 2023 No.12 is intensely perfumed with aromas of Kaffir lime, guava, passionflower and rosewater with the classical Eden Valley mineral accent of wet-slate. The palate is assuredly structured and perfectly balanced with heady flavours of zesty Tahitian lime, piquant lemongrass and the sweet-floral pungency of fresh quince, grounded with a lick of stony, flint-like minerality. The crisp natural acidity imparts length and vibrancy, bringing laser-sharp focus to the driving, persistent finish. A standout of the 2023 vintage with both immediate allure and enviable aging potential. - Rieslingfreak
