These are great value drops, straight from our House to yours.

TASTE with Rieslingfreak 馃嵎

Join us this Saturday 28/3 from 3-5pm to taste through a selection of wines from the aptly name Rieslingfreak.

Rieslingfreak is the brainchild of John Hughes together with his wife Belinda, who are absolutely inspired both individually and as a couple by the authority of the noble variety of riesling to express where it is grown via a broad range of captivating styles.

Belinda is the Eden Valley to John鈥檚 Clare Valley roots, a yin-yang duet of complementary rather than opposing riesling forces. They don鈥檛 fight for regional supremacy, but create a large and thriving collection of rieslings from both Valleys that tell the most complete and engaging story about modern riesling in Australia.

We鈥檒l be pouring from 3-5pm this weekend, follow the link in our bio to see the line-up.
