Notes | |||
"A juicy crystalline riesling on both the nose and palate. The mouth feel is textural and juicy with a long finish of fruit and rounded acidity. The soft and delicate approach builds with a combination of lime and bath salts. Delicate crystalline flavours on the palate show a dry precise riesling with texture, spice and delicate acidity that give the wine focus and fantastic length. Consistent with the now well-established Rieslings from Frankland Estate this wine displays the balance of pristine fruit flavours and precise and delicate acidity, medalled with generosity of fruit, resulting in an exceptional wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared with the confidence it will continue to develop further complexity over the next 10 years." —winemaker |

"This offers bright fresh lemon and grapefruit aromas with some mineral and crushed stone as well as stone fruits. The smooth texture is alluring and the concentrated grapefruit and peach flavors hold fresh. Drink or hold. Screw cap." —James Suckling "Lavender and potpourri lace the aromatics of the 2021 Riesling, with preserved lemon, green apple and pink grapefruit forming the core of perfume. This is lean and restrained in the mouth, with a firm whack of phenolic austerity that shapes the flavors and the experience. This is a smart wine that shows the coiled acidity that Frankland River achieves so effortlessly." —Wine Advocate |
