Cellar for up to 7 years. Serve chilled.

Founded in 1999, the Fraser Gallop Estate lies just 6km from the coast of Western Australia in the northerly sub-region of Wilyabrup in Margaret River. The estate has some 50 acres under vine set on gravel and clay soils on gentle slopes around the Wilyabrup Brook. Conditions here are reminiscent of those found in the Medoc in Bordeaux and the estate specialises in crafting elegant yet powerful wines inspired by their French cousins.

The moderate maritime climate helps to produce sensational Chardonnay thanks to the cooling sea breezes which help preserve freshness and aromatics in the grapes. Fraser Gallop plant their Chardonnay vines on south-facing slopes with all the fruit carefully harvested by hand to maintain quality.

Once in the winery the grapes are pressed and fermented using wild yeasts in oak barrels and 500 litre puncheons. After fermentation is complete the barrels are stirred once a week for a month to add a rich, creamy texture and more complexity. The young wine is then aged in the barrel for 9 months, producing subtle notes of vanilla, toasted oak and spice with mingle on the nose with bright citrus, peach and pink grapefruit.
