Mouth-filling yet medium bodied, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing graphite minerality that drives the wine across the palate and to a long finish. 

The style of Cabernet Merlot we are making at Fraser Gallop Estate is a wine that has greater freshness from a short time on skins and short barrel maturation and good concentration of flavour that comes naturally from dry grown Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend.

The blending of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has been proven in Margaret River’s short history and elsewhere, such as Bordeaux where the blend originated. The varieties work so well because structural tannins of Cabernet are tamed by the inherent mid-palate richness and softness of the Merlot grape. 

Enjoy this wine now or cellar for 6 to 12 years.
