Tasting Note

Pale straw with lime green hues. Aromas of citrus, cumquat, pineapple, citrus blossom, white peach. Lime and lemon juice with an almond glossiness and a whisper of lactose. The acidity and pH sets this up as a long term cellaring prospect which will develop a touch of richness as it matures. Should develop further complexity with 10-12 years careful cellaring.

Completed by a long, crisp finish, this Chardonnay is wonderfully textured. It's known to mature gracefully, unique character deepening over time. Perfectly paired with seafood or poultry dishes, Fraser Gallop's Parterre Chardonnay offers a delightful wine-drinking experience.

About the Winery

Fraser Gallop

Fraser Gallop Estate is a mesmerising winery nestled in the heart of the Margaret River region of Western Australia. This vineyard spreads over a generous area of 165 acres, all dedicated to producing exceptional quality wine, championing the region's iconic grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Unveiled to the world in 1999 by founders Nigel and Dorothy Gallop, Fraser Gallop Estate boasts a distinctive Bordeaux-style vineyard design. You will find a profound French influence here, visible not only in the architecture of the estate, but also in the exquisite wines they produce.

Moreover, the winery's illustrious location is a captivating tale in itself. The scenic backdrop of majestic Indian Ocean and prevailing sea breezes create a unique maritime climate that is indeed a utopia for cultivating grapevines. This is coupled with their ironstone gravel soil, encouraging the vines to struggle for water and nutrients, which in-turn, leads to the production of intensely flavourful wines.

The minimalist interventionist approach is a keystone in Fraser Gallop's winemaking philosophy. They believe in letting the vineyard speak for itself; embracing the natural conditions to let the beautiful fruit flavours shine in the glass. A barrel tasting or a vineyard tour at Fraser Gallop Estate comes highly recommended for anyone visiting the Margaret River region.

One notable wine produced here is the Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon, a highly respected and celebrated wine in international wine communities. It perfectly embodies the style and elegance that is associated with the Fraser Gallop Estate.

In addition to their devotion for producing top-notch wines their commitment to sustainability is commendable. They strive to maintain balance in the ecosystem by promoting biodiversity, encouraging native vegetation, and following organic and biodynamic practices.

Overall, a trip to Fraser Gallop Estate promises an unforgettable experience of picturesque landscapes, intimate winery tours, and of course, world-class wines. Make sure to include it in your itinerary for the day spent in the Margaret River region you will not be disappointed.
