Located in the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River, Fraser Gallop continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the region's finest wineries. The Chardonnay is sourced off unirrigated blocks and some irrigated blocks of Mendoza clone (Gin-Gin clone) resulting in concentrated fruit and the vines are caned pruned to ensure the fruit is of the highest quality.
Vibrant and bright, the 2023 Fraser Gallop Estate Chardonnay displays crisp, pristine fruit flavours with a clean finish. The palate displays a seamless blend of fruit and acidity, while the nose offers incredible vitality and freshness. There is a lovely tension in this wine that showcases the vineyards credentials. An outstanding Margaret River Chardonnay that offers superb value drinking at this price.
"The 2023 chardonnay in Margaret River is turning out to be rock-solid, with the best wines yet to be bottled. Yet this young wine is very good. Although more time will allow the palate to flesh out, now it is racy and tight, light and lean, with lemons, limes, smoky sulphides and racy acidity. Refreshing all the way through. 91 Points. 12.5% alc. Drink: 2023 - 2031. $30"- Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au.
