Frankcomb is a small, family-run estate in the Huon Valley and this Pinot wears that provenance with pride. Vibrant deep ruby in the glass, with lifted red berries, spice, and subtle French oak on the nose. The palate is rich and round, brimming with lively raspberry and cherry fruit. Well structured tannins provide grip and complexity, while excellent length rounds out a beautifully balanced wine. Pair with duck, lamb, or a Sunday roast. Drink now through 2030.

Tasting Notes

Nice vibrant, deep ruby colour.
Aroma is lifted with red berry fruits, spice and subtle hints of French oak.
Palate is rich and round with lively raspberry and cherry fruit characters. The wine is nicely structured with chalky, succulent tannin and good length of flavour.

Winemaking

Hand picked in late April-early May 2023. Around 5% whole bunches were put in fermenter with the rest of the Pinot which was gently destemmed. Approximately five day cold soak. Wild fermentation then drained and pressed to tank for several days after primary ferment. The wine was then transferred into French oak barriques for ten months of maturation. The wine was then transferred from barrel to be blended in tank, gently filtered and bottled.

About the Vineyard

Agriculture is constantly challenging, often rewarding, and always inspiring for us. It’s where science and art meet that makes us tick. At our core we are fruit growers, and owing to the cool climate of the Huon, we have been able to produce a variety of flavourful, colourful fruits over many seasons. Not one to shy away from innovation, in the 1990’s John experimented with growing truffles and went on to plant one of the first commercial cherry orchards in Tasmania. It was not until 2015 that an enduring curiosity of establishing a vineyard got the better of us. We propagated select clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to suit our site and planted three hectares, vowing to keep it ‘small and beautiful’, and we have.
‍
Maintaining healthy soils and vines is always at the fore of what we do, and with much hand work balancing the vines, we now produce optimum low yields of exceptional quality fruit.
As the vines matured, we supplied winemakers with the grapes cultured to their specifications, and it turns out those wines are delicious. Naturally, our next foray is right here producing our own wine label, Frankcomb.

We are so fortunate to have our wines made within a stone’s throw of the vineyard where each clone is fermented and matured separately in small batches. This enables us to critically taste and craft the most desirable blend prior to bottling, lending each vintage the best expression of the site and season.

Huon Valley

The Huon Valley is Tasmania’s southernmost wine region, and by extension, the southernmost wine region in all of Australia.

Following the winding path of the Huon River from Lake Pedder to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, this region offers a unique cool-climate growing environment. The north-facing vineyards are sheltered from the cold southerly winds, benefiting instead from a maritime-influenced climate.

The gentle warmth of summer allows for a slow, extended ripening season, resulting in high-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines.

This extended growing period enhances the complexity and finesse of the wines produced here, making the Huon Valley an ideal region for crafting elegant, cool-climate varieties.
