2021 Fraser Gallop Estate Parterre Chardonnay 750ml

This wine presents a pale straw color with hints of lime green. Its bouquet offers enticing aromas of citrus, cumquat, pineapple, citrus blossom, and white peach. On the palate, flavors of lime, lemon juice, and a subtle almond richness complemented by a touch of lactose. Its acidity and pH suggest potential for long-term cellaring, promising a touch of added richness with maturity. With careful aging of 10-12 years, it should evolve into a more complex delight.

"A single sip initiates a vibrant sensation akin to a laser lightshow. This wine races across the palate with its tantalizingly racy, juicy, and succulent flavors. Pause and savor the experience: notes of grapefruit and Meyer lemon intertwine with hints of creamy lees and lemon curd texture. Subtle wood spices from the oak integration seamlessly. Above all, it's characterized by its mouth-watering, flinty nature, fine structure, and remarkably enduring finish. An exceptional wine to behold."-James Halliday, 95 pts
