About the wine
Yields at Fraser Park are an enigma. If you count the bunches, you would think it has a nice but light crop. But come harvest day, the buckets fill slowly. The small berries and bunches yield a very, very light crop. What is lacking in volume on the vine is made up for in the glass.  
The wine is dark and shines like a ruby, with a nose of dark plum, orange flower and violets. The palate is concentrated and rich with soft tannins. Flavours of blackberries and vanilla approach, followed by beetroot and caraway seeds.
Certified Organic Wine – EU and Southern Cross Certified.

Cellaring
Drink/cellar to 2031+.

Winemaking
Made by Candice and Frewin at the CRFT winery in Carey Gully.
Hand-picked, then cold-soaked, followed by wild fermentation in an open-top tank with 25% whole bunch. Pressed to barrel once dry for wild malolactic fermentation and maturation on full lees. Occasional lees stirring. Matured for 10 months in 100% French oak, 20% new.
14% alc/vol. Vegan-friendly.

The Fraser Park Vineyard
Managed and organically farmed by Frew and Candice since mid-2021. Certified Organic from Feb 2023.

Nestled on the northern side of the Stirling and Aldgate townships, the harp-shaped vineyard is surrounded by native forest and the majestic gardens of Fraser Park homestead.

Being surrounded by trees makes it feel low, but it is one of the highest hills in the area. The birds in the area are savage, so early netting is a must.
