Fermoy Estate
Wines
Despite a
history of little more than two decades,
Fermoy Estate's wines have won acclaim
which belies the vineyard's relative
youth. Its Cabernet Sauvignon scooped a
Gold Sheraton wine award within its first
year of production and its Merlot,
Chardonnay and Semillon have also been
hailed at both wine shows and in the
marketplace. The vineyard was established
in 1985, and completed its first vintage
in 1988. A total of 14 hectares is now
planted which in full production should
yield around 160 tonnes of premium fruit.
The winery
was built in 1987 to the specifications of
the Winemaker Michael Kelly, and has since
been expanded to accommodate Fermoy
Estate's dynamic growth ? from 120 cases
at first vintage to more than 30,000 cases
annually.While Fermoy Estate incorporates
leading edge technology, it retains many
Old World traditions. The vines are
hand-pruned and hand-picked, and by
careful fruit selection Fermoy is able to
craft distinctive table wines full of
unique flavours and characters.
The winery
was originally built in 1987 to crush 100
tonnes and has since expanded to a
capacity of 500 tonnes, processing both
estate grown fruit, and also contract
winemaking for other Margaret River
growers.
The winery
incorporates the latest technology, but
still retains Old World traditional
winemaking practices. The grapes are
handpicked only in the cool of the early
morning and processed immediately to
retain their freshness.
Despite a
history of little more than a decade,
Fermoy Estate's wines have won acclaim
which belies the vineyard's youth. Its
Cabernet Sauvignon scooped a Gold Sheraton
wine award within its first year of
production and its Merlot and Semillon
have also been hailed at both wine shows
