Established in 1999, Fraser Gallop Estate comprises 50 acres under vine on an elevated aspect six kilometres from the south west coast of Western Australia at the heart of the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River.
Winemaker Clive Otto is a genuine Margaret River legend. After 16yrs at Vasse Felix he joined Fraser Gallop in 2006. In 2005 he was the Winestate Magazine's Australian Winemaker of the Year. In 2009 he won the Decanter World Wine Awards Trophy for the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the world for the 2007 vintage – his first wine he produced at Fraser Gallop Estate.
"6% petit verdot included, 15 months in used French oak. Hits the right notes with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and a smattering of green herb, and there might even be a touch of petit verdot perfume in the background. On the generous side of medium-bodied, it glides easily along the palate with attractive red and black berry flavours and melded tannin." 94pts - James Halliday
