“At the bigger, less-ethereal end of the pinot spectrum. Pepper, black cherry and toasty oak aromas. Highly structured, powerful, with abundant tannins. Mouth-filling, rich, lush and concentrated. Promises to live many years. 10+(cellaring years).”

Frogmore Creek ‘FGR’ Riesling

93/100 points (2009 vintage)
“The wine which set the path for this Mosel style, with its complex sweetness balanced by Tasmanian acidity; very rich and satisfying…”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011

93/100 points (2009 vintage)
“The FGR stands for ‘forty grams residual’ sugar — or whatever else you want it to stand for — but in any case, it’s a riesling made in a sweet style. It’s not a dessert wine; it’s made for quality summer quaffing.  It’s piercing and sweet/soft at once. It tastes of apples and lemon sorbet; has good intensity; heaps of length; and a nice sense of balance. (…)”
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, July 2010
