The 2026 Rieslingfreak No.2 Polish Hill River Riesling is a refined dry Riesling from the renowned Polish Hill River subregion of Clare Valley, crafted by Rieslingfreak. Sourced from limestone and shale soils, this wine captures the precision and mineral character for which the region is celebrated. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing fresh green apple, jasmine, lime zest and grapefruit, complemented by delicate floral notes and a distinctive slate-like minerality.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a beautifully silky texture. Flavours of Granny Smith apple, yuzu, lemon and grapefruit are carried by a fine talc-like mineral edge, leading to a long, dry finish with exceptional freshness and purity. The combination of vibrant citrus fruit and elegant structure makes this a classic expression of Polish Hill River Riesling with excellent ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for those who appreciate precise, mineral-driven wines with remarkable finesse. Enjoy now for its vibrant citrus character or cellar through 2041 to develop additional complexity. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns, Thai-inspired seafood dishes or fresh goat's cheese.
