Frankland Estate Chardonnay 2023

Their acclaim for Riesling might have you overlook Frankland Estate's precise, refined Chardonnay. With stonefruit, flint and spice on the nose, this a gentle, creamy texture, medium body and a fresh, citrusy finish.

Great Southern, hours south of Perth, is the furthest Australian wine region from New Zealand (and from most places). It’s from this remote spot that Judi Cullam and Barrie Smith established their reputation for beautiful, estate-grown Riesling, Chardonnay and Syrah. In the hands of their son, Hunter Smith with winemaking brother-in-law Brian Kent, the estate goes from strength to strength, especially through their passion for organic viticulture.
