Fraser Gallop Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite blend of two different grape varieties. It is characterised by its subtle yet complex flavours that tantalise the taste buds with a combination of citrus, herbaceous and tropical fruit notes. The crisp acidity and long finish give this wine a refreshing and lively character. The Semillon grape imparts the wine with a rich texture, while the Sauvignon Blanc contributes to the aromas and freshness. The wine has been expertly crafted by Fraser Gallop Estate, a boutique winery located in the pristine Margaret River wine region in Western Australia. Perfect for pairing with seafood and salads, this wine offers an inviting and well-balanced palate.

Tasting Notes

A luminescent pale straw green colour in the glass. Cumquat, kaffir lime leaf, lemon thyme, cream and vanilla and gooseberry on the nose. A lovely lemon-lime citrus freshness in the mouth and a hint of thyme. The creamy vanilla texture from extended barrel maturation gives the wine a long chalky textural finish to soften the acidity a touch. A wine to cellar for the long term

About the Winery

Located in the extremely wine-rich area of Margaret River in Australia, the Fraser Gallop Wine Estate sits majestically on the 165 acres of land in the area of Wilyabrup. The vines are planted at the tallest points of this region and they are all dry-grown.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grape varietals are grown in 17 acres of land each. They are the most widely grown grapes here. You will also find other red varietals that are mostly grown in one of the world’s most premium wine-growing region in Bordeaux in France. All the vines are planted with extreme care to ensure minimal intervention and organic winemaking techniques.

This brand was set up by a couple who was passionate about winemaking – Nigel and Dorothy Gallop. They created this label to make wines that were unique and true representations of the excellent Margaret Valley terroirs, where they were planted. The high-altitude and the ocean breezes help in exposing the fruits to optimal ripeness at all times. This is ideal for the cultivation of Bordeaux-type red grapes such as Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Towards the south of the estate, on the slopes, you can see some white Bordeaux varietals such as Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Like we told you earlier, the Chardonnay is the most planted white varietal here. Don’t miss out the Mendoza clone types of Chardonnay that you can see here in plenty.

The winery that was constructed in 2008, contains a maximum capacity of 300 tonnes of grapes. The French oak barrels used for fermenting these wines are chosen with great care. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends of wines are fermented in specific Bordelais coopers, whereas the Chardonnay wines are exclusively fermented in the Burgundian coopers. The winery’s customized design and modern technology make these wines intense, complex and highly flavourful.
