Winemaking:Vineyard Riesling is pressed as whole bunches for fermentation Towards the end of fermentation, when the ideal balance of sugar, fruit weight and acidity had been achieved, the wine was chilled to arrest fermentation. The wine is retained on lees in barrel for nine months, where additional complexity and texture are achieved

Viticulture:This wine was made from 100% Riesling grown in the Isolation Ridge vineyard at Frankland Estate. Geisenheim Clone Riesling vines planted in 1988 on undulating northern and eastern facing slopes with duplex soils of ironstone gravel over a clay sub-soil. The vineyard is situated 256 meters above sea level. The cool nights and long slow ripening periods typical of the Frankland River region allow maximum flavour development while maintaining the distinctive vibrant acidity for which Rieslings from this region are renowned.
