Description
Rocky Gully Wines hail from the award winning Frankland Estate in Frankland River, the coolest and most isolated wine-growing region in Western Australia. Warm days, cool nights (maritime influenced by the proximity to the Great Southern Ocean – means milder summers and winters) optimum ripening conditions, sustainable organic practices and a pristine pollution free environment are all contributing factors to the fine wines it produces. Frankland Estate in 2010 were certified organic. They call the Rocky Gully wines their “second generation of Frankland Estate” and these are more than just a mere second label … same pristine quality of fruit and uncompromising quality at a bargain price.
2015 was an excellent growing season producing high quality shiraz. Predominantly estate grown shiraz goes into this blend
Cascading red and black fruits, fragrant with spice and licorice depth. This more-ish rouge reminded me a little of France’s Northern Rhone. A wee dash of viognier gives wonderful aromatic lift and texture which makes this a lovely soft finishing wine perfect for enjoying now. Winner for quality & Value
93 points, Jane Faulkner for Halliday’s Wine Companion 2018 plus Special Value star “It’s supple. It’s juicy. It’s savoury. It hits the spot. What’s more, it’s laced with all the flavour and depth expected from this producer. There’s pepper, eucalypt, spice, brightness of fruit, neatly appointed tannins and a fine thread of acidity holding everything in balance. And a bargain to boot.”
