Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Vineyard Riesling 2024

Rarely does such a youthful Riesling come to the glass with this high level of class and complexity. A lovely melding of the aromatic, the citrus and the apple fruited is here together with a charming spiciness and mouth-wateringly bright acidity. Crab apple, red Delicious apple, lime zest, lemon, citrus, spice, white pepper and ginger mix and play with a lovely delicate fragrance of jasmine. Acidity is always an integral part of Isolation Ridge Riesling, bringing both tension and a filigree fine basis for a palate that shines in 2024 with a little more spice, a little more piquancy than usual, and a seemingly less obvious touch of savouriness. It’s a beautiful wine, unforced, naturally in balance, fragrant, enticing and long in flavour. History dictates it will age a treat, but then one taste now also tells you it is ready to go . . . your choice.
