The 2026 Frankland Estate Riesling is a vibrant Frankland River white showing lime, lemon and green apple alongside white flowers, citrus zest and fine stony mineral notes. The cool climate of Western Australia’s Great Southern gives the wine bright natural acidity and excellent aromatic lift, while subtle herbal and saline nuances add depth to the pure citrus and orchard-fruit profile.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and precise, with lively acidity driving layers of fresh lime, lemon, green apple and delicate orchard fruit. Citrus zest and white flowers add aromatic complexity, while a fine mineral and saline character brings tension and length through the mid-palate. The wine remains crisp and focused without feeling austere, leading to a dry, clean and persistent finish with refreshing citrus and stony notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Riesling drinkers who enjoy pure, citrus-driven Australian whites with lively acidity and mineral freshness. It is approachable in its youth but has the structure to develop additional savoury, citrus and mineral complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–10 years. Serve chilled with oysters, kingfish ceviche, grilled whiting with lemon and herbs, steamed snapper with ginger, or Vietnamese green papaya salad.
