Fine acidity and a long creamy finish

96 Points

60/40% chardonnay/pinot noir; five years and nine months on lees, disgorged Dec 2022. Pale straw with a fine, energetic bead. Such a lovely smelling wine. White peach, apple and citrus tones. Hints of dried honey, white flowers, almond meal, lemon zest, clotted cream, sea spray and crushed stone. Lemon shortbread notes on the palate, which shows grilled nuts and toast, a touch of distant marzipan, chalky, fine acidity and a long creamy finish showing great harmony and length of flavour.

Freycinet Radenti Grand Vintage Sparkling

Energetic, fine bubbles surge in the glass, with alluring aromas of citrus blossom and delicate floral honey. The palate displays a complex, layered spectrum of flavours from brioche, grapefruit and white nectarine to Tasmanian kunzea honey and toasted almonds, swathed with creamy, softy yeasty complexity. With each sip the palate is left refreshed by gentle acidity.

About `Freycinet`

Geoff and Susan Bull were early viticultural pioneers on the East Coast of Tasmania, establishing Freycinet Vineyard in 1979. It is situated adjacent to the picturesque Freycinet Peninsula, (latitude 42 degrees), which is named in honour of the French explorer Louis de Freycinet, who chartered the region in 1802. The 15 hectare vineyard is proudly family owned and the wines are 100% grown, produced and bottled on our estate. The site is a warm sheltered one within the truly cool Tasmanian climate. The vineyards are meticulously hand tended to grow moderate yields of fully ripe healthy fruit. The rustic winery houses ‘state of the art’ equipment to ensure wine quality is not lost. The wines are produced with great care, dedication and passion – they are a delicious liquid expression of our unique place on earth, the varieties and the season.
