Tasting Notes for Fran.k Preservative Free Prosecco NV

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: Prosecco made without the use of additions or preservatives. Picked early and lightly pressed to avoid phenolics in the wine. The grapes were hand picked in the cool of the morning to avoid the warm summer sun. Whole-bunch pressed and only the free run juice taken to avoid phenolics in the final wine. Fermented at low temperatures to maintain delicate aromatics, stored on lees for 3 months after ferment to build some fine texture and complexity into the base wine.

Vintage 2022: The 2022 vintage was the second of the La Nina vintages, Yields were up and vigour was high, a great season for fruit and canopy balance. The shaded canopies played a part in maintaining high natural acids, along with the mild summer and longer ripening period. An excellent season for allowing prosecco to get full fruit ripeness of flavour whilst also maintaining perfect chemistry for sparkling base.

Tasting Note: Crisp nashi pear and floral aromatics, the palate is lively with green apple, honey dew melon and white peaches. Crisp and fresh finish, refreshing and fun! A drier style of prosecco with loads of flavour.
