Frankland Estate ‘Isolation Ridge Vineyard’ Shiraz, Frankland River 2018

Grapes are pressed immediately on arrival at the winery with the juice left to settle in tank over night before being racked to fermentation vessel.

The wine is fermented in stainless tanks at low temperatures (less than 15°C) over 8 weeks with minimal intervention from our winemakers in order to obtain the purest expression of the pristine, organically grown fruit from the Isolation Ridge vineyard.

The wine is then left on its lees for six months. A small parcel of riesling was fermented and aged in (neutral) oak for 10 months where it attains lovely complex textural components and enhances the opulence of the wine.
