Frankland Estate Shiraz 2021 - Frankland River, Western Australia

Wonderful perfume on this medium weighted shiraz, raspberries, red fruited and with lots of spice characters. Star anise and excellent regional Ironstone gravelly tannins and a light sprinkling of black pepper with a sweep of fruit on the mid palate. The complexity of this wine no doubt comes from three clones of shiraz now grown in the estates certified organic vineyards (Houghton’s Clon, 174 and 470) and the eight small parcels used for this shiraz (making up 95% of the wine) with 5% of this being whole bunch fermented, supported by the use of small additions of Touriga Nacional (2.7%), Malbec (0.9%) and Viognier (0.5%).
