2010 SmithCullam Riesling
Nick Stock Sydney Morning Herald/The Melbourne Age Good Wiine Guide
"It is an unexpected surprise, but given Frankland Estate is behind this, it should not be too great of an awakening. What we have here is Australias shining beacon of off-dry Riesling – This is a triumph. Fresh and lively on the nose, there are sparkling minerals and citrus, pith, peel and juice, lime and fresh peeled apples – a complex fragrance. The palate is seamlessly stretched along a playful acid/sugar exchange: it is full of pure and lively lime and apple flavour, with some hints of white peach and a meticulously shaped fade. Very long and stays bright – Really superb."

2011 Rocky Gully Riesling
Ray Jordan Top 100 Whites Summer wine FRESH
"The Great Southern is one of Australias finest Riesling areas. This one from Frankland Estate captures the style of the regions rieslings precisely as you would expect. It has that almost Germanic spiciness overlaying the more traditional citrus characters of the variety. The palate has a gentle persuasiveness that allows the fruit to float effortlessly to a long finish. Excellent drinking over the next few years."

2011 Rocky Gully Riesling
John Jens Western Suburbs Weekly
"At the entry level, Frankland Estates 2011 Rocky Gully Riesling is once again marvelous. The winery believes that 2011 vintage was fantastic. The 2010 release (18.3 points) was outstanding and this wine is in the same class. It is soft, light, fresh and modern. It is crisp, young and intense and shows excellent quality lingering fruit and the results of very good wine making. This is delicious now with grilled fish and salad and, despite the sub $20 price, this is a serious wine that will live for 15 years. "
