Frogmore Creek is one of Tasmania's most highly awarded wineries. Situated at Penna, just outside Hobart, critical climate indicators such as rainfall and temperature, sunshine hours and number of rain days, combine in perfect balance to create an ideal natural environment for the harvest of richly flavoured Riesling. Slow ripening conditions yield fully developed fruit with an even acidity and exquisite balance. Dry and icy polar winds serve to dehydrate the grapes, a freeze concentration of chilled pressings intensifies natural sugars and heightens flavour.

$2599each $311DOZEN EACH DOZEN Frogmore Creek aims to nurture and maintain a biologically diverse environment for the health of vines and fauna. By utilising sustainable farming methods, the waterways remain a safe place for frogs, fish and birds. Since the first vines were planted and the dams established, four species of frogs have made the Frogmore Creek Vineyard their home. Grapes are all hand picked, crushed into press for overnight cold soak to maximise aroma and flavour extraction from skins. De-juiced with only slight pressure prior to freeze concentration, inoculated and treated to a controlled vinification at 16˚C until sugar/ acid/ alcohol balance achieved. The finished Ice Riesling is cross flow filtered to preserve freshness. Alcohol 8.0%

The fruit is harvested throughout the cool of night, crushed and chill pressed before the dawn, to the lowest free run juice yields. To ensure a superior quality of wine, juice yields are closely watched and the pressings are arrested at the first sign of phenolic uptake. Batches are treated to a cool vinification for 3½ weeks in controlled fermenters, retaining all the wonderfully fresh citrus characters and preserving pure King Valley Riesling charm.

$2699each $323DOZEN EACH DOZEN Grapes are hand picked at healthy levels of baume, to construct a wine of delicacy and finesse. The earlier long cool ripening period of Eden Valley provides outstanding growing conditions and is the raison d'être for some of Australia's most internationally renowned Riesling wines. Half of the fruit is whole bunch pressed to maximise elegance, the balance is crushed directly into fermenters, the juices immediately drained to minimise skin contact.
