Producer Background:
Frankcomb Chardonnay 2024 is made from hand-picked fruit, which is whole bunch pressed to preserve delicacy. Fermentation occurs in French oak barriques, with 10% new oak to add subtle complexity. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and rests on lees for nine months, with occasional stirring to enhance texture and depth. Thanks to careful handling and minimal intervention, the wine remains soft, fresh, and elegant, exemplifying Tasmania’s cool climate finesse.
