Little Frances is the growing wine project of Beechworth-based vigneron Erin Pooley. Erin crafts wines from several different regions, both here and abroad, but her recent Beechworth offerings, including this wine, are her best work to date.

Erin applies a gentle hand in the winery, using mostly older oak and minimal intervention to allow the naturally generous and powerful Beechworth Chardonnay fruit to do the talking.

Its a long, pure-fruited and mineral feeling wine, and in the context of Beechworth Chardonnay really represents outstanding value for money.
