Frankland River Favourites: Frankland Estate Mixed 6 Bundle | Riesling to Cabernet

Frankland River Favourites is a tight, producer-led mixed six built for people who like wines with line, length, and restraint. Frankland River is one of Australia’s most underrated cool-climate regions, and Frankland Estate is one of the names that proves it: whites that snap into focus, reds that build quietly and finish long.

This bundle is designed to drink in a sequence that makes sense:

• Start with Alter Weg Riesling for pure citrus drive and precision.
• Move to Grüner Veltliner for savoury texture and food versatility.
• Then Chardonnay: confident, balanced, and built for the table.
• Finish with three reds that cover different moods: Cabernet Franc for fragrance, Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, and Touriga Nacional for something darker, rarer, and more adventurous.

It’s the kind of six-pack that feels like a private tasting at home: one producer, one region, zero filler.

What’s in the 6-pack:

• Frankland Estate ‘Alter Weg’ Riesling 2023
• Frankland Estate Grüner Veltliner 2023
• Frankland Estate Cabernet Franc 2022
• Frankland Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
• Frankland Estate Touriga Nacional 2021
• Frankland Estate Chardonnay 2023

Best for

• People who like “European-style” Australian wine: freshness first, power second.
• Dinner hosts: three whites for pacing and food, three reds for depth.
• Wine explorers who want a credible reason to try Touriga Nacional outside its usual context.

Simple pairing guide

• Riesling: seafood, spicy dishes, pork, salt-and-pepper squid
• Grüner Veltliner: schnitzel, roast chicken, salads, herby dishes
• Chardonnay: creamy pastas, roast chicken, grilled fish, soft cheeses
• Cabernet Franc: lamb, mushrooms, tomato-based dishes, chargrilled veg
• Cabernet Sauvignon: steak, burgers, aged cheddar, BBQ
• Touriga Nacional: slow-cooked meats, smoky BBQ, rich stews

Serving tips (low-friction, high usefulness)

• Chill the whites properly: 7–10°C.
• Reds show better slightly cool: 14–16°C (especially Cabernet Franc).
• If you have time, decant the Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional for 20–40 minutes.
