Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2023 domaine-louis-claude-desvignes The inspirations behind this wine

The inspirations behind this wine are more from the old home of Sauvignon Blanc than the new

Superb flavours and excellent ripening led to an earlier than expected harvest

The Tawny is a three to five-year-old blend obtained by blending wines with different degrees of maturity brought about by the ageing process in barrels and hogshead casks

Hiedler's Rieslings hold the other end of this string also

Has a beautifully seductive mouthfeel with tremendous depth and concentration of Shiraz

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2023 domaine-louis-claude-desvignes The inspirations behind this wineThis wine is 98% Syrah with 2% Viognier. The Syrah comes from the original 1988 plantings in our Winery block of the Houghtons heritage clone, combined with a significant portion (45%) of our exciting 2017 plantings of Hermitage clone 470, which ripens a little earlier at lower Baum on our site and adds lovely red fruited aromatics to the profile. The stems on these clusters also get ripe, so there is no herbal greenness in the whole bunch components,
