Frankland Estate Gruner Veltliner 2024

The Grüner Veltliner is grown in the Isolation Ridge Vineyard at Frankland Estate off seven short rows of vines grafted as a trial in 2017. The vineyard is planted on undulating eastern facing slopes and has duplex soils of ironstone gravel and loam over a clay sub soil. The vineyard is managed under certified organic principles, a practice we feel important for reflecting terroir driven wines. 

A lovely combination of spice and dried pear with slight citrus notes. Stone fruit dried summer grass and earthy tones are supported by delicate florals and a juicy fruitfulness.

The palate is delicate but fleshed out with some textural generosity almost touching on phenolic texture giving weight and tension to this generous and luscious wine. The spice and floral mix are undeniably Grüner Veltliner. Fresh bright and delicious, this wine will age nicely and gain complexity. Organically grown, vinified and estate bottled.
