Fraser Gallop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The inspiration for the Fraser Gallop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is taken from some of the great wines of Bordeaux. The aim is to use a number of techniques to emphasise complexity in a single vineyard wine and to make a wine that allows the fruit to shine, complemented by premium oak, while maintaining great structure and finesse. This is done by the addition of small amounts of Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec and the use of a number of different techniques during fermentation of the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Very deep, rich red in colour with vibrant crimson hues. The wine jumps out of the glass with aromas of bramble, cassis and plum, complemented by coffee bean and cigar box aromas from the use of French oak. Higher lifted notes of violets, tea leaves and strawberries make for an attractive and alluring nose. A structured and complex wine, the palate reflects the concentrated dry grown fruit with flavours of morello cherry, dark berry fruits and aniseed, enveloped in spicy, cedery and tight grained French oak. Ripe powdery tannins and fine acid give this wine structure, length and the ability to age gracefully for the next 15 years.
