Fraser Gallop Parterre Chardonnay
100% Margaret River Chardonnay
Oak Ageing: 9 months in 50% French Oak Puncheons, 50% French Barriques (1/3 new oak)
The 2023 Parterre Chardonnay from Fraser Gallop Estate presents a stunning pale lime-straw colour, with aromas that instantly captivate the senses. Fresh citrus notes of tangelos, limes, and lemon curd meld beautifully with hints of oregano and lemongrass, offering a delightful vibrancy. The wine is tightly coiled yet balanced with a subtle sweetness, making it irresistibly refreshing and salivating on the palate. Flavours of lemon-lime crumble, lime zest, and vanilla unfold with juicy intensity, while the finish is long-lasting and elegant.
Winemaking Process
The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested and gently whole-bunch pressed, ensuring only the finest juice is extracted from the berries to maintain a seamless structure. After 24 hours of settling in a stainless-steel tank, the juice is transferred by gravity flow into French oak barriques and 500L puncheons, where it spends 9 months maturing. During this period, the wine is stirred weekly to enhance its creamy mouthfeel, which perfectly complements the wine’s crisp acidity.
Cellaring Potential
This Chardonnay will develop further complexity with careful cellaring and can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years.
