Critic reviews

The Wine Front – Apple, lime, fennel, a little parmesan rind. Juicy, saline, cheese rind, nutty and kind of juicy, with some chalk dust grip, more of that nutty stuff, bright acidity, but fleshy too, with a whole lot of weight and lime zest on a finish of excellent length. Excellent. Frankland River via Rheinhessen. Complex and so good to drink. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front April 2023

James Halliday – Fine acidity, luscious fruit (in a riesling context), texture and length. What more do you desire? There is more: a little tug of phenolics, the openness on the palate yet slatey and reigned in by lemon-sorbet acidity. Moreish, a touch savoury and an excellent drink. Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion Aug 2023

Description

Alter Weg translates to the ‘old way’, describing our approach to this Riesling. Certified organic, ripe balanced riesling fruit is harvested and gently pressed to large format barrel where it undergoes wild yeast fermentation. A further 10 months of ageing on full lees in barrel result in a superbly textured riesling with approachability and generosity of fruit, supported by the creamy textural element of this vibrant wine. No additions of any kind are used in the making of Alter Weg Riesling. All grapes are harvested as cool as possible and pressed immediately, slow press cycles allow for soft, long extraction of juice. Picking decisions are made on ripeness and fruitfulness, with the main aim of working with natural balance yet seeking greater ripeness. – Hunter Smith, Frankland Estate
