Fermoy Estate Cabernet Merlot 2019 (12 Bottles) Wilyabrup, Margaret River

$303.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Vintage: 2019 – a cooler vintage, but a warm & dry period in March-April provided perfect conditions for red grape ripening.

Varietals: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon; 21% Merlot; 1% Shiraz

Appearance: Bright crimson red.

Aroma: Blackcurrant, plum and mulberry fruits lead into savoury notes of black olive tapenade and bay leaf.

Palate: The medium-weighted palate unfolds in layers of fruit, savoury herbs, dark chocolate, and subtle oak spice. A soft and juicy mid-palate is supported by a framework of powder fine tannins which add structure and length.

Oak Detail: 18 months maturation in a combination of 15% new and 85% seasoned French oak barriques from a selection of renowned Bordeaux cooperages.

Cellaring: This finely structured wine is drinking well now, but will continue to evolve over the next 5-6 years.

Awards

94pts: “78/21/1% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/shiraz. Matured for 18 months in French oak (15% new). If Fermoy isn’t edging onto your radar, you need to perk up. The wines have refreshed packaging, which reiterates the value found inside the bottles. This is very smart. Succulent, pure fruit is shaped by fine, chalky tannins that help the flavour sail over the palate and off into the distance. Really impressive for the price, it looks the part too. Drink by 2031”. Erin Larkin, 2023 Halliday Wine Companion

About Fermoy Estate

About Fermoy Estate is a premium winery nestled in the beautiful region of Wilyabrup, the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the famous wine making region of Margaret River, Western Australia. It was established in 1985 by John and Beryl Anderson.

Wilyabrup, with its rich, loamy, well-drained soils, perfect temperatures and quality old vines is a purveyor’s paradise. Little wonder it is considered the ‘golden triangle’ of Margaret River. The main varieties grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Shiraz.

The winery is located right next door to the vineyard, so the grapes can be processed without delay, ensuring their premium qualities are retained. The winery processes some 350 tonnes of grapes each year.
