Reviews

“From Wilyabrup. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild fermented in barrel, weekly bâtonnage for a month, 50% mlf. Matured for 9 months in barrel prior to blending. Yeah wow: this is textural, rich and creamy, but it has sublime balance and poise. It is an incredibly elegant wine, showing restraint and line. The length of flavour lingers long after the wine has gone – salted white peach, red apple skins, fig and summer nectarine. The mlf brings almond meal and crushed macadamia, more obvious in the texture than in flavour. Glorious wine.” Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion, 95 pts

”This has a vividly fresh lemon and yellow-peach nose with wet stones, flint and hazelnuts. Shows intensity and freshness in the mouth with staunch acidity driving ripe peach, pineapple and green-mango flavors. Mouthwateringly intense finish. Drink over the next five years. Screw cap.” James Suckling, 93 pts

”Aromas of white stone fruit, grapefruit pith, melon skin, nuts, nougat, white flowers and creamy, classy oak. The flavours are mid-weighted, focused, textured, layered and long. Nectarine, grapefruit, mealy, crunchy minerally acidity, fresh and lively. Tightly bound and a little linear at the moment, will blossom with time.” The Real Review, 93 pts

”This seems to be one of the finer and more precise examples of this wine that I’ve seen. It’s really tightly held and the whole structure is one of elegance and lancing length. Aromas of light pear and quince with a subtle grapefruit infusion. The palate is fine but builds, almost reluctantly at first, and then with gathering momentum. An excellent wine.” Ray Jordan, 93 pts

Description

Established in 1999, Fraser Gallop Estate comprises 50 acres under vine on an elevated aspect six kilometres from the south west coast of Western Australia at the heart of the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River.

The region’s pristine isolation beside the Indian Ocean; the maritime climate; and our vineyard’s undulating topography provide the ideal conditions in which to grow Bordeaux and Burgundy grape varieties.

The wines of Fraser Gallop Estate are intensely flavoured, textured and complex. Our focus is on Cabernet, Chardonnay and Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blends. Only the finest quality French oak barrels are used for all Fraser Gallop Estate wines, with very specific Bordelais coopers used for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends, and Burgundian coopers for the Chardonnay. The complete winemaking process takes place at the estate – picking to vinification to barrel maturation to bottling to cellaring. Fraser Gallop Estate is an estate grown, produced and bottled wine.

Partners in Wine WA

Kirk and Rebecca welcome you as a Partner in Wine! We are a couple of West Australians who met over a bottle of wine, and whose love developed like a full-bodied red. Before long we found our weekends planned around West Australia’s diverse wine regions in an attempt to uncover smaller, niche wineries and the hidden gems amongst their delectable wine creations.

Like you, we appreciate good times and great wine – enjoyed with friends and loved ones – and our journey has taken us through each of the beautiful wine regions of this great state, sampling thousands of wines along the way.

Many WA wines are highly rated by the likes of James Halliday – Australian wine critic, winemaker, and senior wine competition judge – and many prestigious national awards are bestowed on our state’s wine produce each year. WA’s wine is world renowned and highly sought after, but at the same time a large number of boutique wines are hard to come by in major stores, with the winemakers choosing to sell only through their cellar door.

We choose small, WA-only boutique wineries so that you can sample a special drop from our own backyard. Every wine we have tasted and personally endorse, so join us for a taste of WA. Let your winery trail begin – from the comfort of your own home!
