Little Frances 2024 Beechworth Chardonnay

"Harking back to an older style of Chardonnay making, the 2024 Beechworth Chardonnay from Erin Pooley, of Little Frances, is ripe with white Beechworth fruit including pear and nectarine, granite minerality, and baking spices all dusted in custard powder. The palate possesses fine balance between opulence and freshness, even if it veers ever-so-slightly to the former; then finishes compact with typical phenolics and a brush of fresh acidity. White orchard fruit, particular pear and nectarine skin, lemon curd, vanillin, and granite chips." — David
