Fraser Gallop Estate Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2019 Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon from Fraser Gallop Estate is a stunning expression of this iconic variety, featuring a deep, dark crimson hue that immediately hints at its richness and complexity. On the nose, this wine reveals an enticing blend of ripe blackberries, char-grilled meats, and smoky, toasty oak, reminiscent of the classic profiles found in Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignons. There’s an unmistakable depth to the aromas, with layers all harmoniously entwined. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, offering a fleshy and succulent mid-palate that glides effortlessly across the tongue. The flavours are complex and multifaceted, showcasing the ripe fruit profile of blackberry and red currants, balanced by the savoury and herbaceous notes of bay leaf and the delicate umami character of Nori seaweed. The addition of lapsang tea adds a layer of smoky, savoury depth, further enhancing the wine’s intricate flavour profile.
What stands out about this wine is its elegance and finesse, which, when combined with its layers of complexity, creates an experience that is both captivating and refined. The tannins are soft, smooth, and supple, providing a velvety texture that enhances the wine’s overall balance.
Winemaking Process
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon were carefully selected from Fraser Gallop Estate’s premium vineyards. Hand-harvested and gently vinified, the fruit underwent fermentation in small batches to retain its purity and integrity. The wine then spent an extended period in French oak barrels, where it developed a refined structure and integrated oak character, complementing the natural vibrancy of the fruit. The result is a wine with superb balance, showcasing both the power and elegance typical of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons.
Cellaring Potential
The 2019 Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine built for ageing, with the potential to evolve gracefully over the next 10-15 years. As it matures, it will develop even greater complexity and refinement, rewarding careful cellaring.
