Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "The 2021 Farvie Syrah is lighter and finer than the Mourvèdre, yet it is darker in the glass and more mouthfilling. I suppose, in some ways, the flavor profile here is more expected, yet the tannic structure of the thing is more refined and sleek than I have seen in previous vintages. There are notes of blackberry, star anise, iodine, blueberry, licorice and a slash of bone broth. It also has black pepper and aniseed, but not in the warm-climate framework that we are used to seeing/experiencing from regions like Barossa or McLaren Vale. It is odious to compare, I concede, but important from a contextual standpoint. This is Frankland, with its own signature. Syrah continues to be sourced from the two blocks—Powderbark and Wilsons Pool, both home to the WA clone—the Houghton massal selection. This saw no new oak (as per usual), and comes in at a very modest 13.5% alcohol. It is a profoundly elegant wine now, but it will only be better, more complex, more svelte and more complete as time wears on." - Erin Larkin (Robert Parker Wine Advocate)

James Halliday – "It is already showing an array of aromas and linked flavours, with ripe citrus (Meyer lemon) to the fore. It's very seductive – can there be too much of a good thing?" - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

James Suckling – "The wide spectrum of citrus, floral and herbal aromas really makes this stand out in the category. Ripe, juicy and elegant on the medium- to full-bodied palate where there's excellent concentration. Long, generous and impeccably balanced finish." - James Suckling

Frankland River, often heralded as a viticultural paradise, possesses a unique combination of geography, topography, and climate that fosters the production of wines with remarkable character. The ancient landscapes, cradled by gentle hills and winding rivers, have long been a canvas for pioneering winemakers. The region's cool climate is a stark contrast to many of Australia's wine-producing areas, allowing for prolonged ripening periods. This, in turn, ensures grapes develop a deep concentration of flavors while retaining a lively acidity. The region's fame, while built largely on its signature Rieslings, also extends to its robust reds, particularly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each bottle reflects the dedication of its producers and the distinctiveness of its origin, making Frankland River wines a testament to Australia's diverse wine culture. Enjoy the essence of this remarkable region and savor the stories captured in its wines.
Frankland River is one of the most distinguished sub-regions within the Great Southern wine region of Western Australia. Situated approximately 360 kilometers south of Perth and nestled inland, Frankland River is characterized by its cool continental climate, influenced largely by the Southern Ocean. Its geographical isolation, combined with its ancient, mineral-rich soils, provides an ideal terroir for grape cultivation. The river itself, from which the region derives its name, meanders through the landscape, adding to its picturesque charm and contributing to the area's unique microclimate, which is perfectly suited for viticulture.
Frankland River is gaining recognition on the global stage for producing wines of impeccable quality and character. Thanks to the region's cool climate, wines from Frankland River exhibit a depth of flavor paired with a vibrant acidity. While there are premium wines from established vineyards that fetch higher prices due to their pedigree and limited production, the region also boasts a number of wineries offering outstanding wines at more accessible price points. Thus, from seasoned collectors to everyday wine enthusiasts, Frankland River caters to a diverse spectrum of palates and budgets.
Frankland River's allure as a wine-producing region lies in its harmonious blend of climate, soil, and human passion. Its cool continental climate, coupled with its isolation, ensures a low risk of diseases, allowing vintners to adopt sustainable and organic viticulture practices. The ancient gravelly loam soils play a significant role in yielding wines with a pronounced mineral edge and intense flavors. Add to this a community of dedicated and innovative winemakers who respect the land while embracing modern techniques, and you have a wine region that's both traditional and progressive in its approach.
Frankland River is celebrated primarily for its exceptional Shiraz and Riesling. The Shiraz from this region often displays rich berry flavors with hints of pepper and spice, reflecting the cooler climate's influence. On the other hand, the Rieslings are renowned for their razor-sharp acidity, aromatic intensity, and crystalline purity, often presenting notes of lime, green apple, and flint. These wines not only encapsulate the region's unique terroir but also showcase its potential as a leading wine-producing region in Australia.
While personal preferences play a role in defining the "best" wines, several producers from Frankland River have consistently earned accolades for their offerings. Alkoomi Wines, one of the pioneering estates of the region, is renowned for both its Riesling and Shiraz. Other standout names include Frankland Estate, known for its organic viticulture practices and exceptional Rieslings, and Ferngrove Vineyards, which offers a broad portfolio of wines reflective of the region's diversity. Exploring Frankland River's wines is a journey through a region that, while relatively young, brims with potential and promises memorable tasting experiences.
