AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Vintage: 2023 – an excellent white wine vintage, typified by good yields and a dry, mild ripening period resulting in flavoursome, aromatic wines.

Varietals:1 00% Chardonnay

Appearance: Pale, golden straw with brilliant green tints.

Aroma: Vibrant fruit aromatics of white blossom, yellow grapefruit and fresh pineapple with lightly toasted almond and kaffir lime leaf complexity.

Palate: A delicate, succulent, textured palate. The wine shows good fruit weight – grapefruit, lime and white peach, with subtle complexities of sea spray, salted limes, toasted nuts. A succulent acid line balances phenolic crunch to ensure a wine of texture and substance

Winemaking: Fruit was handpicked and whole-bunch pressed straight to barrel with full solids for natural ferment by wild yeast. Partial malolactic fermentation and judicious lees stirring during maturation built palate weight, texture and complexity. A blend of separate parcels, the wine was allowed to harmonise in tank before being heat and cold stabilised with minimal fining and filtered prior to bottling in December 2023.

Oak Detail: 100% barrel fermented and matured for 9 months in a combination of 25% new, balance 1 and 2-year old French oak barriques.

Cellaring :Ready for immediate drinking and will continue to drink well over the next 4-5 years.

Food Pairing: Drink with pan-fried, polenta crusted whiting fillets.

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.

Fermoy is one of the original established vineyards of the Margaret River region, but continually seeks to incorporate new ideas and technology. This reflects Fermoy’s ongoing quest to bring you the very best wines, while ensuring that everything we do is environmentally sustainable.
