Fran.K Pinot Noir

Summary: Let's be Fran.k- grown sustainably, naturally made and preservative free. Sophisticated natural wines, made simple for the modern day consumer. Naturally crafted from small parcels of cool climate fruit by Frances Kentwell and Nicole Braiser. Fran.k supports WomenandRevolution, an association of wine professionals aiming to achieve gender balance in all areas of the wine industry.

Winemaking: Hand Picked Pinot Noir grapes from the cool climate region of Tumbarrumba. The fruit was fermented with 10% whole bunches on the bottom of the remaining crushed fruit to achieve aromatic lift and perfume. The fermentation was temperature controlled over a 10 day period with gently punch downs and pump overs twice daily to manage extraction of colour and tannins. The wine was lightly pressed and kept in tank to undergo Malolactic fermentation. Made without the use of preservatives or additions. Vegan Friendly, Preservative free. Made to enjoy!

Tasting Note: Beautifully perfumed aromatics combine with mulberry and ripe strawberry fruits. The palate is bright and lively with vibrant fruit and texture. Mulberry and red currants dance across the palate and a lively acidity contributes length. Made without a heavy hand in the winery, reflective of when and where the fruit was grown. No Preservative and No additions. Pair with beef bourguignon and parmesan mashed potato
