Fraser Gallop aim to create a wine which has true elegance, fine texture and ample complexity as well as lively, fresh fruit character. Semillon is sourced from Wilyabrup where it can mature past the green, herbal notes to the riper spectrum of flavours such as lemongrass and quince. Sauvignon Blanc comes from the cooler sub region of Karridale, an area which produces finer, more elegant berries with fresher flavours. The classic Margaret River white style, eminently drinkable upon release, a wine which is more than just simple fruit flavours.

Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are harvested in the cool hours of morning and delivered promptly to the crush pad. Grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and gently pumped through a chiller on way to the Bucher XPF 80 press to get the must down to 8C. Juices are settled at 8C, racked off gross lees and warmed to 16C for fermentation. The juices are fermented in tank with two different yeasts to maintain freshness, bright fruit flavours and aromatics. A small proportion is fermented in new and one year old French oak barriques which adds to the complexity, structure and length of flavour. Sulphites are added upon completion to deter malolactic. The wine was protein and cold stabilised and cross flow filtered.
