The 2025 Freycinet Chardonnay is a refined cool-climate Chardonnay from Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula, produced from the estate's original 1979 plantings. Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed before fermentation in French oak barriques, it combines concentration with precision, offering aromas of white peach, citrus, melon and grapefruit, complemented by hints of hazelnut, spice and subtle flinty complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel and vibrant natural acidity. Layers of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and grapefruit are supported by finely integrated French oak, adding notes of toasted nuts and gentle spice. The finish is long, mineral-driven and elegantly balanced, highlighting the purity and ageing potential of this classic Tasmanian Chardonnay.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Tasmanian Chardonnay for those who appreciate cool-climate wines with freshness, complexity and finesse. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2035 for added depth and complexity. It pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, roast chicken, seared scallops or creamy mushroom risotto.
