Fraser Gallop Parterre Chardonnay 2011

The Margaret River is producing some of the best value and best quality Chardonnay in Australia. This estate only produces single vineyard wine with an emphasis on the traditional French varieties. The Parterre label is the crème of the crop for Frasor Gallop and epitomises what the estate can do best.

Forget about the aromas as the wine has so much power it is a little overwhelming. Think flavour, acid, texture and balance and you will be about right. For the first three days I struggled with the wine but on day four the elegance came through and I was on the right track. On the back label they say to keep it for 5 to 7 but I say 7 to 10 before you open them. This is the sort of wine that is very French with moment of Australia thrown in, with a price tag so cheap it is scary.
