Critic Reviews
92 pts Gary Walsh @ The Winefront
‘Spicy, hazelnutty, green herbs and squishy blue and red fruits, a mint and chamomile perfume. It’s sappy, a bit earthy, distinctly nutty, but gee, it has some character about it which gets me in. There’s thyme and poached strawberry, a fermented salami savouriness, a bit of a ‘mineral’ thing happening, with a warm and juicy red fruited finish of good length. Idiosyncratic, but good to drink. I like this.’
Cellaring Potential
Drink now or cellar with the confidence that this will develop further complexity over the next 5 years.
Enjoy With
Thai Duck Curry or Crispy Duck Pancakes.
About Frankland Estate
Deep in the heart of Western Australia’s most isolated wine region, Frankland Estate is as much apart of it’s natural landscape as it is a winery. Frankland Estate draws upon two different sources of fruit for their wines, Isolation Ridge and Rocky Gully. Both vineyards promote and endorse the use of organised and sustainable grape growing principles to manage the vineyards.
With 33 vintages on their home vineyards, the consistency of depth, complexity and intensity of flavour in the wines has reinforced their belief in this approach and amplified our respect for our extraordinary natural environment.
