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.
