Fraser Gallop Estate Palladian Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Established in 1999, Fraser Gallop Estate is at the heart of Margaret River’s Wilyabrup valley (20km) north of the town of Margaret River and six kilometres from the southwest coast of Western Australia. The Estate enjoys splendid isolation and a moderate maritime climate created by the Indian Ocean to the north and west.
The Palladian Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were meticulously selected from the vineyard’s prime section, ensuring unparalleled quality. Our 2022 Palladian Cabernet is crafted exclusively with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, undergoing a unique process entirely in French Oak from start to finish. The journey begins with destemming chilled grapes directly into new 500L French Oak Puncheons, followed by fermenting, rolling, and plunging, and aging all within these same barrels. By initiating the winemaking process entirely in the barrel, we achieve a harmonious integration between fruit and oak, allowing the flavors to seamlessly unfold across the palate.
Indulge in the lush notes of ripe plum and dark cherries, entwined with nuances of supple new leather and a whisper of floral perfume.
The wine caresses the palate with a delightful mouth-feel, showcasing exceptional balance and refined alcohol levels. Experience the rich flavors of plums and cherries, complemented by velvety, chamois-like tannins. This opulent wine offers remarkable length, promising a journey that lingers beautifully.
