Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2023

Our Verdict

One of Australia's best Rieslings and a firm Craft favourite...

'It’s super precise and poised, a wine of balletic balance with a piercing acid line of jaw-dropping intensity and drive. A masterclass in coiled tension, restrained power and the beauty of Frankland River riesling.'  97 points - Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian

'One of the very best Isolation Ridge Rieslings produced. It’s from an exceptional vintage showing the pristine purity and minerally tension of great Rieslings. Comes from a combination of clones planted in 1988. Now this is not your usual Riesling. It was left on lees for nine months and about 10% was matured in oak. The result is a wine of tremendous texture, with an intricate weave of fine acid and intensely flavoured fruit. Has a crunchy vibrant minerality on the finish. Exceptional wine.' 97 Points - Ray Jordan

'Riesling is the Frankland Estate signature grape, and gee they do a good job of it. Very different to most Australian Riesling too. Pie apple, lime, plenty of spice, mint and aniseed. It’s chalky, rich in flavour, all lime and apple, with a nutty and chalk dust texture, lots of oomph, almost into Chardonnay weight, with a slight petrol perfume, and excellent length. Crushed fennel seed, guava and apple on the finish. Powerful and very ‘mineral’. Lime zest and Parmesen rind too. Lots of grip. Loads of personality. Terrific.' 95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
