- TASTING NOTE: "A riper style this vintage with aromas of yellow peaches, cumquat marmalade and florals. The palate fleshes out with creamy, nutty lees, spicy, woodsy, cedary oak and bright acidity to close. It’s more satisfying with the right food (think roast chook) than on its own." 91 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: Made with the famous Gingin clone introduced to WA in 1957 by Harold Olmo and planted on Isolation Ridge Vineyard in 1988. Matured in 500L puncheons.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: In a 1955 study of potential grape growing sites, renowned Californian viticulturalist Dr Harold Olmo identified Frankland River as one of the most promising prospects in Australia. The wines of Frankland Estate prove he was right. Founded in 1988 by Judi Cullam and Barrie Smith, this is indisputably one of the nation's most important and consistent cool climate producers. Since 2010, second-generation winemaker Hunter Smith has been joined in the winery by brother-in-law Brian Kent. Hunter and Brian have re-focused on every detail of their organically farmed vineyard and winery operation, with their entire suite of wines (Estate, Single Vineyard and flagship Smith-Cullam wines) garnering even more attention for this benchmark Great Southern producer.
