'Platinum' at the Decanter World Wine Awards

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from the Decanter World Wine Awards:
Our 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has been awarded a coveted Platinum medal, placing it among an elite group of wines on the global stage.

Platinum medals are among the highest honours at the Decanter World Wine Awards, bestowed on just 137 wines worldwide. With thousands of entries blind-tasted by leading experts through a rigorous, multi-stage judging process, Platinum winners represent the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.

Our Reserve Cabernet has quietly built a reputation as one of Margaret River’s most consistently awarded wines. This latest accolade continues a remarkable streak at the Decanter World Wine Awards—highlighted by Best in Show in 2024 for our 2020 vintage and Gold medals for every vintage since 2017.

Senior Winemaker Jeremy Hodgson shares:

“Being awarded Platinum at Decanter is a huge honour and continues a legacy we’re incredibly proud of. This wine comes from our original plantings in Wilyabrup—a site that consistently delivers. After last year’s Best in Show, it’s incredibly rewarding to see our Cabernet recognised again on the global stage.”

Crafted from 37-year-old vines on our Estate vineyard, the 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of meticulous handpicking, gentle maceration, and 18 months of maturation in premium French oak. The result? A Cabernet that is elegant, structured, and profoundly expressive.

Tasting Notes from the Judges:
“Quintessential and stylish, exuding pure cassis, blackberry and briary fruit… mouth-wateringly juicy acidity… a fine mineral undertone ordains the long, visionary finish.”

The Fermoy 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is available to taste and purchase online and at the Fermoy Cellar Door, and is also offered as a limited pre-release and as part of an exclusive Decanter Pack.
