The vineyard of Fraser Gallop Estate features undulating topography and gravelly laterite loams over clay subsoil providing the ideal conditions in which to grow Bordeaux and Burgundy grape varieties. The unique location, geography and climate conditions combine to imbue the colour, flavours and aromas found only in their wines.
From the very first sip, an electrifying laser lightshow ignites the senses. This wine races across the palate with an unapologetic vivacity, delivering an exhilarating cascade of juiciness and succulence that demands a moment of pause and reflection. It unveils a symphony of flavors, where the zesty notes of grapefruit and Meyer lemon take center stage, while a subtle infusion of creamy lees and the silkiness of lemon curd texture add depth. Oak spices make a cameo appearance, seamlessly woven into the tapestry of taste. Yet, above all, it's the wine's mouthwatering, flinty finesse that leaves an indelible mark, persisting exceptionally long on the palate. In a word, this wine is nothing short of wonderful. The acidity and pH sets this up as a long-term cellaring prospect that will develop a touch of richness as it matures. Should develop further complexity with 10-12 years of careful cellaring.
