Wine Enthusiast – "On completion of my first sip, I leant back, crossed my arms, tilted my head, and let out a wry smile—soft and relaxed, like a resting hammock. As always, this wine kills. Leaning further toward savoury characters than the ’23 vintage, I enjoyed the punchy floral prettiness and overall intensity. A bouquet of white peach, tangerine peel, green mango and lime. One of the many parcels sees oak (5% of the total makeup), and the wine spends eight months on lees before bottling—building a slatey texture and complementing the tight framed, puckering acid. Pith, chalk, pressed lavender and mandarin—it’s a fruit salad breakfast in the Mentawai Islands. This is one of Australia’s best-value wines, and once again, Frankland Estate is pushing boundaries in the vineyard and the industry—redefining what Australian Riesling can look like—and they’re doing it from WA. This wine doesn’t need food, but an autumn nectarine salad and poached chicken would pair nicely." 96 points - Cyndal Petty, Wine Pilot

The majority of the wine fermented in stainless steel with 5% barrel-fermented Riesling from their Outback and North Pole blocks. All components were kept on their lees for eight months before bottling for additional texture and complexity. As always, spectacular fruit came off their old-vine (1988 plantings) Olive, Pole and Outback blocks, containing both the Geisenheim clone and Houghton’s WA heritage clone. The Isolation Ridge Riesling is always the best wine Frankland Estate can produce from their vineyard in any given year. Yields were low in 2024, so the total make was reduced by 25%.
Citrus blossom, wet stone and smoky talc notes waft over a particularly wide spread of fruits: red apple, corella pear, lemon, kaffir lime, tangerine and grapefruit into nectarine. It’s zesty and tight on entry, a wash of pure fruit given a bracingly refreshing edge by pleasantly sour fresh citrus juices and a hint of lemongrass. It has crystalline juiciness with a clear, precise saline bead of acidity. There’s an edgy purity to the medium-bodied palate, then that stony length—channelled arrow-like—with a deceptive power and texture to the fruit. There’s a nice, skinsy-like bitterness too; a splash of tonic, lime and mandarin with a sprig of herb on the long finale.
