2019 Harewood Estate Frankland River Riesling, Great Southern

The grapes for this wine were sourced from a single vineyard in the Frankland River sub region to the north of Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region.

Only the finest, more pristine, “free-run” juice was used in the production of this wine resulting in a palate of outstanding elegance, free from the harsh, phenolic characters associated with pressings.

A long, cool ferment in stainless steel tanks, minimal fining and the use of screw caps are all further steps towards capturing the inherent delicacy of this cool climate variety.

A brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges.

The wine exhibits pungent spicy blossom and hints of stone fruits enhanced by an underlying citrus vibrancy.

A seamless palate, with initial flavours of passionfruit and mandarin leading to a spicy mid-palate with richer hints of mango sorbet finishing with classic mouth-watering lemons and limes. The fine structure is testament to the care taken during this wines production.
