Description
"Ferngrove's reds typically reveal penetrative and pristine flavours framed by fine, dusty tannins. There's not a single over-ripe or soupy red in sight... Ferngrove's philosophy has been to over-deliver on quality at every price-point." Jeremy Oliver
Ferngrove Wines is located in the picturesque Frankland River wine sub-region of Great Southern. Established in 1998 by Murray Burton, it is one of the world’s most isolated wine estates but was chosen for its favourable viticultural location 90km from the coast.
"Lovely balance and poise. This wine reeks of class. The nose has red fruits, but has more of the sour cherry aromas. The palate is very complete, with superb fruit in evidence. The oak is a touch dominant now as are the slightly chalky tannins, but time is all that is needed for this to shine. The best value wine here!" Barry Weinman
"Dark crimson colour; on the nose complex, yet distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics of mulberry and blackberry; a long and powerful palate, textured with dark plum and blackberry, cedary French oak and layered tannin; will benefit from up to 10 years careful cellaring." Ferngrove

Western Australia
Western Australia is home to more than 400 wineries across nine vast and extraordinary wine regions which are almost entirely concentrated in the south-west and great southern land divisions of the State. The regions are Blackwood Valley, Geographe, Great Southern, Peel, Pemberton, Manjimup, Margaret River and Swan District.
The oldest region is the Swan Valley, the best known both nationally and internationally is Margaret River and the largest is Great Southern. The Great Southern region is further divided into the five subregions of Albany, Denmark, Frankland River, Mount Barker and Porongurup.
The history of wine production in Western Australia dates back to 1840 with the establishment of Sandalford in the Swan Valley region. The recognition of the fine wine possibilities started to be realised after the establishment of the Margaret River Region in 1967, which has become renowned for its high quality Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The other regions produce a diverse range of regionally distinct wines, from stunning Rieslings and evocative Shiraz, to a range of unique Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
