2024 Louis Chardonnay

The Louis wines take their name from for Louis De Freycinet, who published the first map of the coastline of Australia and for whom the Freycinet Peninsula was named.

The Louis range of wines are crafted for everyday enjoyment or for short term cellaring. 100% Estate grown fruit from 27 year old vines is utilised with similar production techniques as for our flagship Freycinet Chardonnay. To achieve a more fruit drive style for Louis Chardonnay, we mature it for a shorter time in seasoned French oak barriques.

Described as “the juicy, smashable sibling to the main Freycinet Chardonnay”, this wine is crafted for everyday enjoyment and short-term cellaring and comes from 27 year old vines. Taking is cues from the Chablis region of France, it was 100% was fermented in seasoned French oak barriques. Barrel fermentation has contributed a creamy, smooth texture and complexity without obvious oak characters. 

The vibrant, pure Chardonnay flavours of grapefruit, stone fruits and melon are harmoniously balanced with a long, crisp, mineral finish. Perfect for picnics, barbecues, mid-week drinking - indeed any occasion!
