Parterre Chardonnay

The Fraser Gallop Estate 2020 Parterre Chardonnay is an understated wine with flesh and drive. It is a fruit driven Chardonnay with predominantly citrus on the palate with clean acid to bite and a freshly grated ginger spice note. There is a lovely understated creaminess from the lightly toasted oak and yeast lees. The wine stays around for a minute long finish.

Previous 2018 vintage was awarded Decanter World Wine Awards 2020 BEST IN SHOW - 97 points

"Pale green-gold in colour, with aromas of serene classicism: wafting early-season orchard fruits and just a little creamy summer stonefruit too.

Tapered, refined, enticing.

On the palate, the wine is soft yet poised; it has great innate flavour complexity without any sense of strain, labour or effort: a deft and seamless mouthful which nonetheless impresses by its finishing complexity."
