Rieslingfreak No.10 Zenit Riesling 2023

97 POINTS – The Real Review Stuart Knox
“Very pale lime colour. The nose is exotic with gardenia, lime zest and roast cumin seed aromatics. Tight, almost highly strung but the fruit intensity is a match to the drive of acidity. A hint of sweetness brings a fullness to the core of the palate and provides a window into what this wine will become over time. All that power and tension ensure it carries to a prodigious length, leaving a pristine talc and citrus note lingering.”

The 2023 No.10 is a blend of 50% Polish Hill River (Clare Valley) and 50% Flaxman Valley (Eden Valley), from specially selected sites across three of their most outstanding vineyards of the year.

The 2023 No.10 effortlessly harmonises the chalky, silken subtlety of Polish Hill River with unbridled potency and structural rigour of Flaxman Valley, creating a Riesling that is perfectly balanced with knife-edge precision. The bouquet is exquisitely perfumed, an enticing symphony of fresh lime, pink pomelo, lemongrass and rosewater. The palate is equally seductive; perfectly pure and pristine with a soft, velvety texture and gentle acidity that imparts a lithe elegance and graceful persistence to the finish. The ultimate expression of an exceptional Riesling vintage.
