Freycinet Vineyard is situated on Tasmania's sunny eastern coast, approximately halfway between Launceston and Hobart. The philosophy is to keep things simple, to make a wine as big and as beautiful as possible, to allow the fruit of the vineyard to express itself with little human influence. Vines were established 1980 and yield limited harvests of the most intense fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Franc are treated to the extravagance of eighteen months French oak, for a succulent Medoc style, redolent of black currant and bramble, olives, herb and cedar perfumes.

The philosophy at Freycinet is to keep things simple, traditional Burgundian techniques are employed, the aim is to make a multi dimensioned, complex and creamy textured Chardonnay with generous palate. Fully ripened grapes provide the foundation to which the techniques of barrel fermentation under tightly grained French oak, lees stirring and malolactic are applied, enhancing the natural complexity, texture and layers of character in the completed wine.

$4399each $527DOZEN EACH DOZEN Chardonnay is completely barrel fermented in a selection of new and seasoned French oak casks for ten months, matured on yeast lees and periodically treated to battonage, developing complexity and richness.

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.

Situated at Penna, just outside Hobart, critical climate indicators such as rainfall and temperature, sunshine hours and number of rain days, combine in perfect balance to create an ideal natural environment for the harvest of richly flavoured Riesling.
