Since 2001 Frankland Estate has produced limited quantities of its single vineyard rieslings,Poison Hill to complement the Isolation Ridge Vineyard Riesling. The unconventional name of Poison Hill Vineyard is a result of it being located on the slopes of a hill where Heartleaf Clover is found.
Aromas of white stone fruit, citrus zest and jasmine green tea are accompanied by hints of sage and spice aromas. Delicate yet weighty, the palate is dominated with tropical fruits, spice, some talciness and pithy textural characters. While richly weighted there is a real core of acidity that gives the wine some lovely minerality and length The undeniable balance and poise of this wine will allow for long term cellaring.
Hand-picked grapes were whole-bunch pressed immediately on arrival at the winery, cold-fermented, 8 weeks minimal intervention. Has class stamped all over it, but drink Isolation Ridge while this gets a few more (5+) years under its belt.
