Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2022

From a fine vintage, this Riesling saw an 8% component matured in barrel – rare for Aussie Riesling – with the intention of enhancing the mouthfeel. It works. The colour is pleasing though very pale yellow. The nose is exhibiting some lovely lemon blossom notes, beautifully fragrant. Very easy to imagine standing in a citrus orchard with a gentle breeze when one smells this wine. Pears, minerals and delicious lime notes on the palate, where there is bright flavours, vibrant acidity plus decent length. This has a good ten to fifteen years ahead of it.
