About This Wine
90 POINTS - The Real Review Stuart Knox
"Bright straw yellow colour. Dried mango and frangipani aromatics. Palate has an appealing textural richness, ripe tropical fruits with a hint of slate minerals. Carries good length, the richness stays with it although enough phenolics are built into the finish, so it doesn’t cloy at the end."
The highly acclaimed Frogmore Creek Riesling is produced in the cool climate of southern Tasmania, where their grapes benefit from a long growing season amongst the pristine natural environment. These slowly-ripened grapes develop pure fruit flavours, fresh natural acidity and are perfect for making world-class cool climate wines.
Combine this with their purist approach to winemaking and their philosophy of environmental sustainability, the result, a seriously good wine.
Very floral aromas that are dominated by honeysuckle, the palate has well-balanced sugar and acid with fresh lime flavours.

Tasmanian Wine
The Tasmanian wine region is a cool climate region, the most southerly of all wine regions in Australia. Due to the lower temperatures, the area grows primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, with smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Having been to many wine tastings over the years, I can definitely say from a personal standpoint that Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot noir are always ones I look forward to trying if they are on the menu. They are almost always high calibre wines that can easily compete against what the rest of the world has to offer in these varietals.” Jason C. – World Wine.
While Tasmania makes great still wines, the exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also make for excellent sparkling wines.
More recent vintages since 2005 have been positively impacted by the effects of global warming. With slightly higher temperatures the grapes are ensured to ripen fully and produce more vibrant wine.
