This vineyard seems to produce full bodies chardonnay's year in year out that can take a fare amount of wine-making influences. This wine is that and a little more as elegant flavours of smoked nectarines and nut encrusted grapefruit comes riding around the mountain of tonguing fun. The depth and breath of flavour is beautiful and it all finishes with a wedge of freshness. mmm.

Fraser Gallop Estate Parterre Chardonnay 2011
I can't think of another region that has such a strangle hold on top quality wines from one particular variety as Wilyabrup does. This wine has massive amounts of power but it is stored up and waiting to unleash itself. The acid frame of this wine is big which allows flavours galore to tumble down but it is the texture of the wine that adds extra bonus points. It is light yet mouth coating and thick. It is that sort of twisted mind bender that sends me spinning and I love it.
