Harvest:A fantastic vintage for Frankland River Cabernet. A very wet and cold winter, was followed by a cool and wet spring which wet the soil profile all the way through, providing ideal conditions for good growth and fruit set on the vines. A judicious approach to viticulture ensuring yields were managed through fruit selection paid dividends as the season became very mild to cool towards the end of the growing season. Fruit for this wine was harvested on April 22nd, the long hang time rewarded grapes with lovely maturity and flavour.

Viticulture:Frankland Estate is buried deep in the heart of Western Australia’s most isolated wine region. It’s located 330km south of Perth, 250km east of Margaret River and some 50km inland from the wild and picturesque Great Southern coastline. The key soil profile of this undulating site is what we call “coffee rock” - ironstone gravel over a clay subsoil.
