Frankland River

With notes of golden delicious apples and white peaches highlighted by hints of honeydew melon, toasty oak and cedar, the 2012 Isolation Ridge Chardonnay is light-bodied, very crisp and a little green and under-ripe in the mouth. The oak is quite prominent and somewhat masks the fruit and defines the finish. Drink it now to 2017.

Deep crimson. Highly perfumed - with rich fruit and a light floral quality. Very intense and deeply fruited on the palate but the fruit is not overly sweet (that's good). Darker and more savoury on the palate, with a touch of black olive already. Spice and pepper from oak and fruit. Chewy and fresh on the long, tangy finish.

Frankland Estate was established by Barrie Smith and Judi Cullam in 1988. It is located in the Frankland River district, a cool climate region about 200km inland from the southwest coast of Western Australia. The Isolation Ridge vineyard was developed on part of a 3,000 acre property in the Frankland River region on which the family has run a wool growing enterprise since 1974.

The team at Frankland Estate always create stunning wines. This Riesling is pure. So pure, in fact, that alongside the zippy, fresh apple and lime, you get a sense of place and of the wondrous terroir. A perfume envelops that lime and there is an endearing acidity on the finish. A second glass is a requirement.

Fresh and bright, a delicate palate to start showing freshness and bright sweet fruit, red-berries, plum and lifted floral notes. The tightly woven palate has fine grained gravely tannins, slight mocha and savoury earthy notes. The palate is flavoursome and persistent.
