Frankland Estate Chardonnay 2021

Interestingly, while Frankland’s approach to riesling has been influenced by its approach to chardonnay, particularly wild yeasts, its approach to chardonnay has likewise been influenced by riesling, especially in the use of larger older format oak. The wine remains on lees after fermentation for 9 months. This is a very good example of how far chardonnay has come here. It’s vibrant and expressive with a chalky minerally character threading through the primary fruits. Long with a beautiful texture.
