This Frankland Estate Alter Weg Riesling presents an intriguing aromatic profile, moving beyond typical crispness. Expect notes of ripe citrus, green apple, and stone fruits (apricot, peach), complemented by a savory mineral core and subtle hints of spice, beeswax, and a delicate yeasty complexity from its barrel fermentation and lees contact. On the palate, it delivers a rich, textural experience with a creamy mouthfeel, yet retains a vibrant, high acidity that provides freshness and length. Flavors of preserved lemon, green gage plum, and wet slate intermingle with a hint of toasted nut and a long, evolving finish.
