Palladian Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

halliday wine score of 95 points

Fraser Gallop Palladian Cabernet 2017

The 2017 Palladian Cabernet from Fraser Gallop Estate is an exceptional expression of Margaret River’s renowned Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine reflects the dedication and meticulous craftsmanship of Fraser Gallop Estate, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. The 2017 Palladian is beautifully aromatic, with dark cherries and a subtle hint of plush leather. This vintage is slightly fuller-bodied, with rich, soft fruits of boysenberries and blackcurrants unfolding on the palate. The texture is seductively smooth, with velvety tannins that lend to its luxurious mouthfeel. The wine’s finish is impossibly long, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and depth.

The remarkable balance and seamless integration of fruit, oak, and tannins make this a wine built for ageing. It will continue to develop beautifully with time, offering a wine-drinking experience that will evolve and reward those who choose to cellar it.

Winemaking Process
Hand-picked at optimal ripeness, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were carefully selected from Fraser Gallop Estate’s premium vineyards. The fruit underwent fermentation in small batches to preserve its purity and intensity. After fermentation, the wine was matured in a combination of French oak barriques and puncheons, ensuring a well-integrated oak influence that complements the fruit without overwhelming it. The wine was then allowed to rest, allowing the tannins to soften and the flavours to develop further.

Cellaring Potential
The 2017 Palladian Cabernet is a wine with exceptional ageing potential. While it is already drinking beautifully, it will continue to evolve over the next 10-15 years, becoming even more complex and refined as it matures.


Why You’ll Love It:

  • Exceptional Balance: A seamless integration of fruit, oak, and tannins for a wine with structure and elegance.
  • Seductive Texture: A smooth, velvety mouthfeel with soft, supple fruits of boysenberries and blackcurrants.
  • Aging Potential: A wine designed to evolve, with remarkable complexity and a long-lasting finish.
  • Perfect Pairing: Ideal with grilled steaks, roast lamb, or rich, mature cheeses.

Wine Companion review: Erin Larkin

100% Wilyabrup cabernet sauvignon. Pressed straight to large-format 100% new 500L puncheons and rolled on custom racks to enable the removal of skins. Wild fermented and matured for 20 months in the same vessel. The cooler vintage has birthed herbal wines of complexity – of which this is both. The tannins are omnipresent and fine; the fruit is delicate and lingering. This is not the powerhouse one would expect from a flagship wine: it is nuanced and fragrant and all the better for it.
