Harvest:2024 will be remembered for its dry, warm conditions from spring through to vintage. Good winter rains finished as soon as spring arrived, staying dry from then on. A number of warmer than average weeks in late January/early February pushed harvest forward by a number of weeks. This produced a small crop of great intensity. The fruit was harvested between 16th February and 1st March in the cool of the early morning.
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.
Food Pairing:BBQ pork ribs, grilled lamb chops, smoky sausages, BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, grilled vegetable skewers, bacon cheeseburgers, BBQ brisket.
