With this single vineyard hand picked Chardonnay we wish to downplay the influence of oak and let the pristine fruit flavours take the main stage and showcase what the vineyard can really do without artefact in the wine.

The Estate Chardonnay (as we call it at Fraser Gallop Estate) is a style distinctly different from the Parterre Chardonnay. With this single vineyard, hand picked Chardonnay, we wish to downplay the influence of oak and let the pristine fruit flavours take the main stage and showcase what the vineyard can really do without artefact in the wine.

The use of whole bunch Gin-Gin Chardonnay and indigenous yeasts in stainless steel barrels coupled with 2 year and 3-year-old French oak barrels and larger format 500L puncheons brings the fruit to the fore of this wine. A portion of the wine was fermented in stainless steel barrels to spread the lees contact and give the wine more texture.

Description

Established in 1999, Fraser Gallop Estate comprises 50 acres under vine on an elevated aspect six kilometres from the south west coast of Western Australia at the heart of the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River.

The region’s pristine isolation beside the Indian Ocean; the maritime climate; and our vineyard’s undulating topography provide the ideal conditions in which to grow Bordeaux and Burgundy grape varieties.

The wines of Fraser Gallop Estate are intensely flavoured, textured and complex. Our focus is on Cabernet, Chardonnay and Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blends. Only the finest quality French oak barrels are used for all Fraser Gallop Estate wines, with very specific Bordelais coopers used for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends, and Burgundian coopers for the Chardonnay. The complete winemaking process takes place at the estate – picking to vinification to barrel maturation to bottling to cellaring. Fraser Gallop Estate is an estate grown, produced and bottled wine.
