Frankcomb Chardonnay 2024 by Frankcomb from Tasmania is a refined, cool‑climate Chardonnay that leans into elegance over bluster, showing pristine fruit, subtle oak handling and that lovely Tassie line of acidity that keeps every sip feeling bright and poised. Expect lifted aromas of white peach, nectarine and pink grapefruit, layered with hints of lemon curd, cashew and a gentle flick of vanilla and spice from fine French oak, all sitting in beautiful balance rather than shouting for attention.

On the palate, this 2024 Frankcomb Chardonnay is likely medium‑bodied with a creamy, lees‑derived texture wrapped around a core of stone fruit and citrus, finishing long, saline and refreshing – more Chablis‑inspired restraint than full‑blown, buttery blockbuster. That combination of subtle oak, fine acidity and savoury complexity makes it a seriously classy Tassie Chardonnay for those who like precision and drive as much as richness.

Food‑wise, Frankcomb Chardonnay 2024 is tailor‑made for Tasmanian scallops, roast chook with lemon and thyme, or richer seafood like salmon, hapuku and crayfish, where its acidity cuts through the richness while the creamy mid‑palate wraps around the texture of the dish. It will also sing with mushroom risotto, pork with apple, or soft, bloomy‑rind cheeses, making it a brilliant choice for both mid‑week roast nights and more polished dinner‑party tables.
