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, 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.
