2009 Cabernet Sauvignon – 18.5 – GOLD
A wine with a voice. Clive Otto is crafting wines of real elegance and purity. Bright aromas of blackcurrant and cherry are reflected on the palate along with black olive and cedary oak. A double-trophy winner at the 2010 Margaret River Wine Show in November, the blend is predominantly cabernet sauvignon but includes small portions of petit verdot, merlot and malbec.
2010 Chardonnay – 18.5 – GOLD
Unanimous support from the panel for this fresh young chardonnay displaying clear varietal fruit interwoven with well-judged oak. The palate is smooth and rich with impeccable balance and persistence. Another feather in the cap for Clive ‘Mr Consistency’ Otto and the rest of the winemaking team at Fraser Gallop Estate.
