2018 Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling

Certified organic. Brilliant water like colour with a bright lime green tinge to the outskirts. Intense lime and lemon aromas have a racy feel through the olfactory senses with granny smith apple, faint orange rind, wet steel and flinty mineral notes also chiming in. Zesty, powerful and concentrated, pristine lime, lemon and green apple flavours lead into a dry mouth watering finish with flinty steel and mineral characters underscoring the fruit. Crisp, crunchy acidity and a thrillingly long aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
Such tension and energy here, and it feels kind of ‘Germanic’ in its intensity and drive. Wooly jumper/smoke, green apple, lime, crushed fennel and dried flowers. It’s dry, flinty and very crunchy, the bite of Granny Smith apple, with a lavender perfume, intense acidity, and chalky feel marks it out as a compelling wine. And the length. It’s sure to age beautifully. Drink 2021-2030+
