Winemaker Notes

The Frankland Estate Netley Road Riesling is a bright straw-green color, with a fragrant, complex nose that shows hints of grapefruit, lime zest and green tea, alongside suggestions of wet-stone minerality. On the palate, it has tightly-wound, pristine citrus, stone fruit and spice flavors of remarkably clarity and depth. It is a wine of great textural complexity with seamless layers of flavors complemented by a firm backbone of very fine but very persistent, lemon-infused acidity. This wine is soft and elegant, but imbued with great power and intensity.

Professional Ratings

    From a single vineyard planted in the 1960s, one of the oldest vineyards in the state, the 2011 Netley Road Riesling gives expressive lemon / lime aromas over green apple, steel and coriander seed. It’s very crisp and citrusy in the dry, light-bodied mouth with a spicy / white pepper undercurrent and long tangy finish. Drink it 2014 to 2022+.

Frankland Estate, Australia
Frankland Estate A Family-Operated Winery Winery Image

Frankland Estate was established in 1988 by Barrie Smith and Judi Cullam who continue to be actively involved in every aspect of the vineyard and winery. They are now assisted by their daughter Elizabeth Smith, son Hunter Smith and a small, hard­work­ing team who enjoy the diverse and idiosyncratic challenges associated with work­ing in a fam­ily business. The winemaking philosophies at Frankland Estate reflect these influences as well as the hard-earned lessons gained from some 17 vintages in the Frankland River region. Our approach to winemaking is based on the principle that the most significant characteristics of a wine come from the soil and the vineyard environment. We aim to make wines that reflect nature rather than the hand of the winemaker. This is the basis of our commitment to sustainable farming and to working the land in accord with the cycles of nature. We carefully nurture the health of the soils in our vineyard and only take from our vineyards as much as can be replaced by natural processes. Our use of viticultural practices resulted in us gaining organic certification in 2009 with our 2010 vintage wines being released with the certified organic “bud” logo.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
