On the palate, the Palladian Chardonnay reveals a harmonious blend of flavours.

The Fraser Gallop Palladian Chardonnay is a versatile wine, making it an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes. It pairs particularly well with seafood, such as lobster, scallops, or grilled fish. The wine also complements roasted poultry, creamy risottos, and aged cheeses, making it an ideal choice for a variety of occasions.
Winemaking Process
Hand-picked from Fraser Gallop Estate’s premium vineyards, the grapes for this Chardonnay were carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. The fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed to extract the highest quality juice, which was then fermented in French oak barrels. The wine underwent periodic bâtonnage (lees stirring) to enhance its creamy mouthfeel, allowing the flavours to integrate beautifully. This process, combined with careful maturation in oak, results in a wine with exceptional complexity and balance.

It will continue to evolve over the next 5-7 years, developing greater complexity and refinement as it ages.
