# Franc About Wine: Specialist Wholesale and Imports Generated by Yoast SEO v27.7, this is an llms.txt file, meant for consumption by LLMs. ## Pages - [Our Team](https://francaboutwine.com/team/) - [Our Portfolio \- Australia](https://francaboutwine.com/our-portfolio-australia/) - [Our Portfolio \- Italy](https://francaboutwine.com/our-portfolio-italy/) - [Producers](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/) - [France](https://francaboutwine.com/shop/france/) ## Products - [Ten Minutes by Tractor Judd Chardonnay 2025](https://francaboutwine.com/product/ten-minutes-by-tractor-judd-chardonnay-2025/): A west\-facing site of 30\-year\-old vines, the Judd Vineyard's extended daytime sun exposure consistently produces Chardonnay with concentrated fruit and real drive\. Yields were low at 2\.3 tonnes per hectare, 100% P58 clone, handpicked on 14th March 2025\. Whole bunch pressed and settled overnight before indigenous yeast fermentation on lees in French oak barriques\. Minimal malolactic fermentation was a deliberate choice here, preserving the wine's definition and energy\. Eleven months in barrel, 20% new oak, a combination of Austrian and French, lightly filtered before bottling\. - [Ten Minutes by Tractor Wallis Chardonnay 2025](https://francaboutwine.com/product/ten-minutes-by-tractor-wallis-chardonnay-2025/): First planted in 1992 by the Wallis family, this is the first of the estate's elevated "Up the Hill" sites, sitting between 110 and 142 metres above sea level\. One hundred percent P58 clone, handpicked on 7th March 2025 at 4\.0 tonnes per hectare\. Whole bunch pressed and settled overnight, then fermented on lees in French oak barriques with indigenous yeast\. Occasional light bâtonnage and varied malolactic fermentation across barrels built balance through the élevage\. After 11 months in a combination of new \(25%\) and seasoned French oak, across puncheons and barriques, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled\. - [Mulline Syrah 2024](https://francaboutwine.com/product/mulline-syrah/) - [Ten Minutes by Tractor Trahere Pinot Noir 2023](https://francaboutwine.com/product/ten-minutes-by-tractor-trahere-pinot-noir-2023/): From the high\-density Spedding vineyard on Main Ridge, sitting 180 metres above sea level on a due east\-facing slope\. Three clones purposefully selected for this project, Abel at 45%, Pommard at 36% and Calera at 19%\. Higher than average rainfall through the season kept yields low and extended hang time, building greater intensity and drive in the fruit\. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, ten months in barrel with 20% new French oak, natural malolactic fermentation, bottled unfined\. Dark and red fruits with an earthy, savoury backbone\. Bright crushed cranberry and spiced black cherry alongside fine tea\-like tannins and subtle cedar\. Focused and precise, with fresh acidity and integrated structure that speaks clearly of the site\. - [Ten Minutes by Tractor Judd Pinot Noir 2025](https://francaboutwine.com/product/ten-minutes-by-tractor-judd-pinot-noir/): From the same west\-facing Judd Vineyard as its Chardonnay counterpart, this Pinot Noir draws on a dominant MV6 blend \(60%\) alongside 115 \(39%\) and 114 \(1%\)\. Handpicked on 18th March 2025 at 4\.3 tonnes per hectare\. Hand sorted and destemmed, with the MV6 parcel fermented in concrete and the 115 parcel in stainless steel, a deliberate choice that builds complexity through separate vessel handling\. A 4 to 5 day cold soak before wild yeast fermentation averaging 20 days on skins\. Parcels kept separate through natural malolactic fermentation, then 11 months in a combination of 18% new and seasoned French oak puncheons and barriques\. ## Portfolio - [Ten Minutes by Tractor](https://francaboutwine.com/portfolio/ten-minutes-by-tractor/) - [Settlement](https://francaboutwine.com/portfolio/settlement/) - [Unico Zelo](https://francaboutwine.com/portfolio/unico-zelo-adelaide-hills/) - [Mulline](https://francaboutwine.com/portfolio/mulline/) - [Italo Cescon](https://francaboutwine.com/portfolio/italo-cescon/) ## Testimonials - [Rebecca Lines, Co\-owner and Sommelier, Tequila Daisy](https://francaboutwine.com/testimonial/rebecca-lines-banksii/) - [Seamus Brandt, Sommelier, Bennelong](https://francaboutwine.com/testimonial/seamus-brandt-bennelong/) - [Paul Pujol, Winemaker, Prophet’s Rock](https://francaboutwine.com/testimonial/paul-pujol-prophets-rock/) ## Categories - [News](https://francaboutwine.com/category/news/) ## Product categories - [Limited Release](https://francaboutwine.com/product-category/limited-release/) - [New arrivals](https://francaboutwine.com/product-category/new-arrivals/) - [New Releases](https://francaboutwine.com/product-category/new-releases/) - [New Arrivals](https://francaboutwine.com/product-category/new/) - [All Products](https://francaboutwine.com/product-category/all/) ## Countries - [England](https://francaboutwine.com/country/england/) - [France](https://francaboutwine.com/country/france/) - [Italy](https://francaboutwine.com/country/italy/) - [New Zealand](https://francaboutwine.com/country/new-zealand/) - [Australia](https://francaboutwine.com/country/australia/) ## Regions - [Clare Valley](https://francaboutwine.com/region/south-australia/clare-valley/) - [Margaret River](https://francaboutwine.com/region/western-australia/margaret-river/) - [Southern Highlands](https://francaboutwine.com/region/new-south-wales/southern-highlands/) - [Tasmania](https://francaboutwine.com/region/tasmania/) - [Yarra Valley](https://francaboutwine.com/region/victoria/yarra-valley/) ## Varietals - [Nebbiolo](https://francaboutwine.com/varietals/nebbiolo/) - [Cinsault](https://francaboutwine.com/varietals/cinsault/) - [Garganega](https://francaboutwine.com/varietals/garganega/) - [Gamay](https://francaboutwine.com/varietals/gamay/) - [Pinot Noir](https://francaboutwine.com/varietals/pinot-noir/) ## Wines - [Pinot Noir](https://francaboutwine.com/wine/pinot-noir/) - [Rosé](https://francaboutwine.com/wine/rose/) - [Champagne](https://francaboutwine.com/wine/champagne/) - [Red](https://francaboutwine.com/wine/red/) - [White](https://francaboutwine.com/wine/white/) ## Producers - [Usher Tinkler](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/usher-tinkler/) - [Clos Saouma](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/clos-saouma/) - [Le Domaine d'Henri](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/domaine-dhenri-chablis/) - [Chateau de l'Aumerade](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/chateau-aumerade/) - [Unico Zelo](https://francaboutwine.com/producer/unico-zelo/) ## Optional - [Sitemap index](https://francaboutwine.com/sitemap_index.xml)
