Presumably made from the soft pressings of the individual vineyard wines, but counterintuitively shares a freakishly low pH of 2.83, because the acidity is less obvious, the palate a little fleshier, and the overall definition is less obvious. Just where the low alcohol fits in this, I don’t know, because it should be over 12%. Perhaps bunch sorting was involved.

Sleek and vibrant, with pear, lime, grapefruit and floral flavors in a tight pattern, finishing light, dry and tart. Drink now through 2022.

Frankland Estate’s most accessible riesling may be labeled as dry, but it is softer than the Poison Hill (also recommended here). Even so, L352:L356it buzzes with lime acidity, scents of orange bitters and a fusel-like earthiness. It’s bright, buxom and lithe, a wine for seafood chowder.

Pale yellow. Fresh tangerine and quince aromas are complemented by jasmine and green tea. Dry and focused on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors given spicy bite by a hint of ginger. Closes taut and long, with lingering stoniness and an echo of bitter lime pith.
