Tasting Notes:

Rich expressive perfume of preserved pears, cloves and brioche, followed by fresh white peaches, green pears and nougat. Layers of complexity from time in new oak and on lees give freshness and vitality to the this style. 

Technical:

This marks the second vintage of our Palladian Chardonnay and again we are excited to release the new vintage during the Gourmet Escape. We have sourced our fruit from low yielding GinGin Chardonnay from particular east-west row orientation, these rows were selected as having the distinctive quality for this style of wine. The handpicked fruit was cooled overnight then whole bunch pressed directly to barrel. The resulting juice was left to ferment naturally with the indigenous yeasts found in the vineyard. This year ripening season was a little under the average temperatures with no noticeable heat spikes, making for grapes with lovely fragrance, higher acidities and higher sugar levels than normal.

Accolades & Awards:

96 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"Pale straw-green; in the subtle, tightly woven style of Fraser Gallop's Chardonnays. The subtlety of the label designs and the three different Chardonnays can be confusing. This beautifully balanced and very long wine has Granny Smith apple, white peach and nectarine all contributing. The role of each is small, the finish clear."


96 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review 

"Very light-yellow hue. Restrained and faintly nutty aromas recalling almond and cashew. There is juicy sweet lemon flavor in spadesful, tight and intense and focused, with impressive length and at the same time terrific refinement. An excellent wine. A textbook chardonnay of great class."


96 Point Rated - Gary Walsh  The Wine Front 

"Intensity. Focus. Length.  I could likely stop the review there, though I'll add a green apple sorbet, juicy lemon and lime, a cashew richness and gloss to mitigate, flinty/chalky texture, a certain citrus zest, grapefruit and green lemon through the finish, plus a dash of cinnamon spice and toast.  Perhaps slightly more generous than 2017 , and none the worse for that."


94 Point Rated - James Suckling 

"Another delightful Margaret River chardonnay. This one reveals freshly squeezed lemons, acacia, chamomile and Granny Smith apples with the faintest touch of spices. The acidity is very, very intense, so beware, but if you can hold on for the ride, it’s a real roller-coaster, as tons of citrus and herbs seep through. Drink now."
