Wine Description
A brooding complexity of floral aromas and ferrous minerality giving the wine intent and seriousness. Tightly would acidity and tannin combine giving the wine a graphite/ferrous thread through the palate. A core of perfumed fruit and mid weighted style finish with a distinct earthy drive.

Winemaker's Bio
Brian Kent grew up in Perth and has a background in biology, along with a postgraduate degree in Viticulture and Oenology from Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand. His interest in winemaking developed during a holiday while working at Majestic Wine in London, before continuing to travel and complete vintages in different wine regions across the globe. In 2003 Brian completed two vintages: one in Frankland River, and the other in the Russian River, a sub-region of the Sonoma Valley in California. In 2005 he went on to complete another vintage in the Rias Baixas wine region in northwest Spain, where they specialized in Albarinho, a wine with similar characteristics to Riesling.
After 6 years of wine making Brian settled in Frankland, joining the family business at Frankland Estate and is thriving in his new position.
