Fraser Gallop Cabernet Merlot
A medium-bodied blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot comes together to make this iconic Margaret River red, fragrant with notes of baked plums and rhubarb, blackberry, bay leaf, and cedar. Ripe and juicy fruit flavours carry the palate with red currant and plum, with some more herbal, olive, and earthy notes in the background with fine tannins.

Nigel Gallop established the vineyard in 1999, planted the vines, and made the first vintage in 2002. Initially, the wines were made off-site, but by 2008, Clive Otto (formally Vasse Felix) came on board as Head Winemaker. They then built their winery and began producing on-site. They now farm 20ha of vine, consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, among others. Clive Otto continues as Head Winemaker and collected the WA Good Food Guide 'Wine Maker of the Year' award. Needless to say, Fraser Gallop has a reputation for making outstanding wines, in particular Cabernet Blends and Chardonnay, at all price points and are integral to the Margaret River and Wilyabrub wine community.
