Good Pair Days - Frazer Woods 'La Cache' Pinot/Chardonnay 2013

John Frazer was enjoying a quiet tipple at the Busselton pub one Friday evening, back in 1985, when he heard of a property for sale in Wilyabrup. Located 40km southwest of his beer mat, and lying between the forest and the massive expanse of Indian Ocean, this piece of land piqued an interest in John...an interest that developed into a bit of an obsession! After buying the property later that year, he and his wife Jan set to work.

They planted vines, built a winery and a house and raised a family. With a keen spirit of determination, enjoyment, experimentation and excellence, they are now, more than a quarter of a century later, producing Margaret River’s finest sparkling wines, crafted from local Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. They do very little to their wines, believing in the magic of hard work and time. The results are sublime, and the recent work to rebrand the packaging is paying dividends, with the wines beginning to receive the attention they deserve.

This wine is predominantly Pinot Noir, balanced with relatively early harvest Chardonnay. It spends more than 7 years resting on its lees, slowly taking on a creamier texture and developing flavours of baked bread and grilled nuts. All this richness is held in check by the powerful Pinot and Chardonnay fruit, resulting in a wine of great balance and class.
