The vineyard sits on an undulating northern and eastern facing slope on ancient duplex soils of gravel and loam over a clay sub-soil.

The vines are trained on a Vertical Shoot Position (VSP) trellis system to enhance sunlight penetration of the canopy and optimize ripening conditions. Touriga Nacional was grafted into the vineyard in 2017 to blend with our Shiraz but looks fantastic as a stand-alone wine.

A selection of small ferments was made from parcels of fruit harvested in some younger close planted Geisenheim clone vines planted in 2006 on a high ironstone rocky ridge. This combines with some of Frankland Estate’s original parcels of Riesling planted in 1988. We have found over the years that our organic practices have led to higher acid levels at higher ripeness levels and what we aim for in Alter Weg Is the maximum ripeness we can achieve. The barrel maturation gives the wine a notable roundness and fullness whilst in keeping with the fine line achieved by our organic Rieslings at Frankland Estate. A complex balanced Riesling that will gain further complexity with age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frankland Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54988129403093,"sku":"AWR25","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/0735\/2789\/files\/Fealt.png?v=1790037848"}],"url":"https:\/\/franklandestate.com.au\/collections\/occasional-wines.oembed","provider":"Frankland Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
