2018 Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling Organic, Frankland River

Riesling wines from the Frankland River region are renowned for their intense varietal flavours and crisp fresh acidity. The Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Vineyard Riesling is consistently ranked among the best in Australia and has won widespread critical acclaim.

The wine leaps out of the glass with perfumed white citrus florals, spice and grapefruit. A real generosity and poise on the palate. Ripe juicy limes upfront, with a crisp acidity that carries the fruit all the way into a long saline, mineral finish. Elegant yet powerful, it builds layers in the mouth as the wine opens up. Consistent with the now well-established Isolation Ridge style this wine reflects both the low-yielding, dry growing conditions of this site. The balance of pristine fruit flavours and defining acidity result in an exceptional wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared with the confidence as it will continue to develop further complexity for many years to come.

Pale yellow hue. Gorgeous aromas of frangipani, a myriad flowers and fresh herbs: a truly glorious aroma. Very intense and bright in the mouth, with vibrant fruit and acidity combining seamlessly. A very intense, expressive, refined, tautly focused riesling of high quality. It's lovely now and will age superbly." 

OMG. Incredible complexity on the nose with crushed-stone, slate and lemon character. Some nutmeg and white pepper, too. Full-bodied with a crunchy and creamy palate that highlights the bitter-lemon and mineral flavors. Very, very long. Organic wine. Drink now. Screw cap.
