This is the wickedly fresh, go-to riesling from Rieslingfreak's suite of '26 releases. It marries superb balance, lively acidity and minerality, strict, citrusy freshness and a genial suppleness to texture that shouts loud in its inherent drinkability, accessibility and charm. Concentration is notable and warrants higher merit in the conversation around quality. A very good riesling, and brilliant at the price.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e95 Points — Mike Bennie, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/winecompanion.com.au\/wineries\/south-australia\/barossa-valley\/rieslingfreak\/wines\/white\/riesling\/no3\/2026\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHalliday Wine Companion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 15 September 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRieslingfreak No.3 delivers everything we love about Clare Valley Riesling: generous fruit, lovely texture and vibrant freshness.
