The Freycinet vineyards overlook a spectacular national park, halfway between Launceston and Hobart. Chardonnay loves the lower latitudes of the region, the cooler climes and clear, sunny skies encourage fruit to develop amazing, slow ripened complexities. Parcels which are picked on the basis of natural varietal eloquence, are treated to a long cool ferment, followed by repose on sediment lees to build palate texture and richness. Finished without any exposure to oak, its pure Chardonnay character of grapefruits, melon are peach are exquisitely balanced by refreshing mineral crispness.
