Fraser Gallop Parterre Chardonnay 2018 (6 x 750ml)
(RRP - $50 per bottle Offer price - $42 per bottle in a
straight six-pack)
In a great year for Chardonnay in our competition, this Western Australian example stood out for its sheer assurance and class, as well as for the intelligence of its approach: perfectly judged ripeness and skilful vinification are both amply in evidence here. It's a 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. We've always known that Margaret River can make great Chardonnay: here's yet more proof in a balanced, contemporary style which sings.
