Harvesting by hand ensures true riesling characters are at the fore in the resultant wine from Frankland River, Western Australia. Citrus flower, green apple and a touch of orange zest lead to a palate that is gracefully balanced by a combination of crispness and a soft mineral lingering aftertaste. Drinking now or cellar for up to 8 years. The Riesling sourced from patch 4 and 5 on our Justin vineyard was selectively harvested to ensure only the ipest and most flavoursome fruit was picked for the wine.

Particularly lovely aromatics here - flowers, spice, lime and green apple lead into a full and flavoursome palate offering more of the same. Sweet green apple and citrus fruit that’s cut with a little mineral and spice flow through the mouth with only a minor bump of fractionally bitter phenolics along the way. It has balanced but fine soft acid and a good long finish. I’d enjoy it (and I did) in the full flower of youth although it will take a few years of bottle age if you like them a little plumper.  Rated : 92 Points Tasted : Aug08 Alcohol : 12.5% Price : $30 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2008 - 2015 Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
