Fraser Gallop Estate Palladian Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (6 Bottles) Margaret River
$900.00 GST Included

A ruby red wine with lovely crimson hues. Lifted dark cherry notes and some dark plum too.
A solid dense mouthfeel but still in the elegant frame, more tannin and body this year, a more structured wine. Mid-palate juiciness will develop in time. Black and red fruits a dominant with nougat and tobacco. Some oak spice on the finish. Will need time to really show it’s best.

Reviews
“It has all the hallmarks of a long-lived wine yet shows off its immediate appeal with lovely aromatics and beautiful fruit. A perfect combo of florals, wood spice, cassis and black olives, with a touch of nori and iron all encased in a savoury overlay”
-2025 James Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points
“Fragrant nose of cedar, mulberries, cherries, blueberries, vanilla and mint leaves. Medium- to full-bodied and well-framed, with tight-knit tannins giving it a firm and focused backbone behind the dark berry fruit. Composed and elegant. Just opening up. Vegan. Drink from 2024.”
-James Suckling, 95 points
“Complex aromas of bramble, blackberry, wild thyme, violets, mulberry and a lift of leafiness. The palate is finely structured, with lovely balance between fruit, oak and tannin. There’s a drive of briary black fruits then the drying, sinewy tannins kick in and deliver shape, length and mouth-feel. There’s some smart French oak framing it alll very nicely. One for the long haul.”

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.
