2024 Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling Half Bottle 375ml, Coal River Valley

The Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling is a decadent and beautifully crafted dessert wine from the Coal River Valley in Tasmania. Presented in a convenient 375ml half-bottle, this wine is a luxurious expression of Riesling’s ability to balance intense sweetness with vibrant acidity, making it an exquisite choice for indulgent moments.

On the nose, the Iced Riesling reveals captivating aromas of honeyed apricots, ripe peaches, and candied citrus peel, complemented by hints of jasmine, orange blossom, and a touch of spice. Subtle undertones of marmalade and crushed herbs add complexity to the bouquet.

The palate is luscious and full-bodied, with layers of sweet tropical fruit, golden raisins, and caramelized apples. A zesty backbone of acidity provides balance and prevents the sweetness from overwhelming, ensuring a clean and refreshing finish. The wine’s silky texture and lingering flavors make it a memorable and indulgent experience.

Crafted using partially frozen grapes, the winemaking process concentrates the natural sugars and flavors, resulting in an intensely aromatic and richly textured wine. Frogmore Creek’s cool-climate vineyards in the Coal River Valley offer ideal conditions for producing high-quality Riesling with the purity and precision needed for this style of wine.

This Iced Riesling pairs perfectly with desserts such as lemon tart, crème brûlée, or peach cobbler. It also complements blue cheeses like Roquefort or Gorgonzola, offering a delightful contrast of sweet and savory flavors. Enjoyable upon release, this wine can also be cellared for 5–8 years to develop even greater complexity and depth.
