Family Collection Riesling: A Frankland River Story
Posted on January 17 2025,
Some wines tell a story with every sip. Our Family Collection Riesling speaks of cool mornings in the vineyard, of generations of knowledge passed down, and of the special place we chose to call home. It's a wine that consistently captures the essence of Frankland River, and the world is taking notice.
A Vintage to Remember
Our 2024 Riesling showcases the best of what a complex growing season can deliver. A wet winter and cool spring laid the foundation, while perfect flowering conditions and carefully controlled irrigation helped develop those pristine fruit flavors we love. The season finished with a dramatic flourish of heat, leading to healthy, plush canopies and fruit of exceptional quality.
In the Glass
This is a Riesling that captures your attention from the first pour. Bright aromas of tangerine zest and pomegranate perfume lift from the glass, while the palate delivers pristine flavors of tangerine and lemon segments, all carried along a beautifully refined acid line. It's a wine of both power and elegance, showcasing why Frankland River Riesling continues to turn heads.
From Vine to Wine
Every step in crafting this wine is considered. We harvest in the cool early morning to preserve those delicate flavors, selecting only the finest free-run juice from carefully chosen parcels. Fermentation in stainless steel ensures the pure expression of our terroir, while our meticulous blending process brings together the very best our vineyard has to offer.
