About Frankland Estate
Deep in the heart of Western Australia’s most isolated wine region, Frankland Estate is as much apart of it’s natural landscape as it is a winery. Frankland Estate draws upon two different sources of fruit for their wines, Isolation Ridge and Rocky Gully. Both vineyards promote and endorse the use of organised and sustainable grape growing principles to manage the vineyards.
With 33 vintages on their home vineyards, the consistency of depth, complexity and intensity of flavour in the wines has reinforced their belief in this approach and amplified our respect for our extraordinary natural environment.
