please tell me its free from Gluten?

It is indeed !!! "Black Rice does not contain gluten (glutenin / gliadin) and is safe for gluten-free diets" - taken from blackrice dot com :)

I've never tried this rice before, how does this compare to plain white rice? What different flavours do you get out of it?

It’s very nutty and much harder like brown rice when cooked - ‘al dente’ The rice takes much longer to cook

Is this actually “wild rice” or not?

I don't think this is 'wild rice' as it is not labelled as such but it is organic & very good. It is different: harder, nutty & tasty. Biona do a three variety mix of 'wild rice' which you might prefer to check out & purchase.
