Frankland River
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Presents an electric purple-crimson hue in the glass, vibrant and alluring. The nose is lush and expressive, layered with a medley of dark forest fruits—blackberry, boysenberry, and ripe red plum—lifted by hints of raspberry coulis. Aromatic flourishes of purple florals, rosehip, and dried petals add finesse and complexity. Subtle undertones of cinnamon quill and finely shaved cedar lend a spicy, savoury dimension. The palate is deep and textural, continuing the forest berry theme with an emphasis on blackberry and blueberry. A thread of dark chocolate and exotic spice weaves through the mid-palate, supported by a finely judged interplay between powdery tannins and lively acidity. The finish is persistent and harmonious, speaking to the wine’s pedigree and potential for graceful evolution.
Food Match
Enjoy alongside with ossobuco on polenta or a salad of bresaola, shaved cauliflower and radicchio.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or cellar for up to 7 to 10 years.
