About Fraser Gallop Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750mL
The Fraser Gallop Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 opens with a beautifully composed bouquet of dark cassis, mulberry, and fresh blackcurrant leaf, underscored by a whisper of dried violets and cedar. On the palate, this Margaret River Cabernet delivers impressive precision and structure — ripe blackberry and plum fruit are framed by finely grained, polished tannins and a thread of graphite minerality. The oak integration is seamless, lending subtle vanilla and dark chocolate complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A cool-vintage freshness lifts the mid-palate, revealing hints of bay leaf and dried herbs characteristic of the Wilyabrup subregion. The wine is poised, elegant, and built for the cellar, yet approachable now with decanting.
