2022 Fraser Gallop Estate Innovation Cabernet Sauvignon
The Innovation Range is a new series of wines for Fraser Gallop which encourages their winemaking team to combine tradition with technology to refine and push the boundaries of wine-making techniques.
A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot matured in second use French oak barrels for a period of 18 months. Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Intense red to black currant and ripe mulberry scents sail through the nostrils trailed by some cedary tobacco, red liquorice, faint black olive and bay leaf notes. Refined and elegant yet amply fruited, the mid weighted palate sports red to black currant, mulberry and red liquorice fruits which are complimented by vanillin cedar, tobacco, dusty earth and bay leaf characters. Fine grained tannins concluding long and finessed.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
