Made from a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc Fraser Gallop’s Parterre Cabernet takes its inspiration from some of the great wines of Bordeaux, displaying their finesse and structure whilst still allowing the Margaret River fruit to shine through. Maturation took place in a combination of new and second use French oak for a period of 18 months.

Totally opaque dark red black colour with a dark red hue. The inviting nose serves up aromas of ripe red to black currant fruits overlaid with bay leaf. Dusty vanillin cedar, tobacco and spicy dried herb notes are also evident. Medium to full bodied, elegant and very refined in its feel, the palate is decorated with rich red to blackcurrant and mulberry fruit. Nuances of cedary tobacco characters, subtle earth and spicy bay leaf ensue. Perfectly integrated, finely grained tannins provide the framework finishing long and savoury on the aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
