Organically certified, this address has loosened up a conventional strut of austerity, to a swagger of confidence, textural detail and poise. This new stance is embellished with optimally ripe fruit evincing care, love for the land and authority. From white clay, this is a rich and spicy riesling, reminiscent of great Germanic expressions over the sour Aussie norm. A forcefield of palate-staining intensity. Vinous. Extracted righteously. Honest to place and what that brings, be the alcohol a bit higher. This is juicy, powerful and complex. Compelling length. Quince, lemon oil, apricot pith and tonic. 97 points. Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion 2021
A very pristine nose with aromas of crushed stones, white pepper, lemons, yellow grapefruit and lightly spiced pastry. The palate has striking acidity that floods in early with plenty of citrus-dominant flavours and then chisels in tight, before launching long into the finish. Like a baseball pitcher’s wind up, it lands right in the strike zone! From organically grown grapes. Drink over the next decade. Screw cap. 96 points. Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com

Notes
Frankland Estate Poison Hill Vineyard lies on the northern edge of the Frankland River township. The Poison Hill name comes from its location on a hill where the Heart-leaf poison bush is found, which is poisonous to all but indigenous animals. The tiny 3ha Poison Hill Riesling vineyard is planted on a unique white clay and weathered quartz soil, which is reflected in a complex, alluringly perfumed and silk-textured wine. Like all vineyards in the Frankland river region it benefits from the cool nights and long, slow ripening period that promote maximum flavour development while maintaining the distinctive vibrant acidity.
The fruit was lightly pressed and allowed to settle overnight before being racked to fermentation vessel. The wine was then fermented at low temperatures (less than 15C) over 8 weeks with minimal intervention in order to obtain the purest expression of the pristine, organically grown fruit from the Frankland Estate Poison Hill vineyard. Hunter Smith, Frankland Estate
