Rocky Gully
Frankland River is one of the coolest wine-growing regions in Western Australia. It is situated far from population and industrial centres, has no major vine pests or diseases and offers a pristine, pollution free grape-growing environment. Onshore winds off the southern ocean and moderate summer temperatures provide optimum ripening conditions for grapes. Rocky Gully wines are made from traditional varieties with an individual approach to winemaking. Developed for the modern lifestyle, these wines are vibrant, fresh, easy drinking and food friendly.
Low yields and good natural acid retention, as a result of the cool Frankland River climate, provides a wine of freshness and style.
