- TASTING NOTE: Rich fruit loaf and spicy Christmas Pudding aromas join rich cherry and plum notes drifting up from the glass, on the palate the softly spicy, generous dark fruit flavours are encased in fine, mouthpleasing bubbles. Refined and elegant, with silky tannins and a long clean finish, our La Cache Estate Sparkling Shiraz finishes with lingering vibrantly spicy fruit flavours. Frazer Woods
- ABOUT THE WINE: Harvested in the early morning to preserve fresh and vibrant fruit characters, traditional winemaking with minimal interference and judicious selection of low impact oak barrels yields characterful wines expressing strongly the qualities that are renowned in the region. Fruit is sourced from Wilyabrup, Margaret River. Disgorged and bottled in November 2023.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Frazer Woods vineyard is situated in the highly sort after Willyabrup sub region of Margaret River – a world-renowned wine region celebrated for producing high quality wines. The fruit for Frazer Woods wines come from a mixture of grapes from said vineyard planted back in 1996, and from a long-standing agreement with a small grower near Karridale. The Frazer Woods grapes are grown with little to no irrigation, and are hand-picked and sorted. Naturally occurring ferments and unhurried time in barrel or tank, all showcase the care and attention to detail that makes Frazer Woods a special piece of Margaret River’s wine industry. Each La Cache wine is crafted by the méthode traditionnelle and each spends between 5 - 8 years on lees before release. Stored in John’s hand-crafted straw bale shed, he keeps a close eye the wines from bottling through to disgorgment to ensure the wine is released at the ideal time. His wines don’t always move vintage consecutively - John will jump backwards or skip over a vintage to make sure the wines are released at their optimum - when a particular vintage is showing itself as ready, only then does it get disgorged and finished for the consumer.
