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.  \u003cspan\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/span\u003eEach 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. \u003cstrong\u003eFrazer Woods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River, Western Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sparkling Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Frazer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47402634346645,"sku":"6004","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260121.jpg?v=1780907939","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/frazer-woods-la-cache-sparkling-shiraz-2009","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
