Welcome to Fermoy Estate, Margaret River, Western Australia. Well known for their Semillon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The winery, with left the winery building, the cellardoor is located in the yellow entrance. On the right you'll find the offices and the storage facilities.
The Merlot vineyard that brings you that beautiful Merlot, it all starts here!

A Semillon vineyard, one of the oldest in Margaret River
These Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are located behind the winery, one of the first planted when the winery was set-up.
The winery of Fermoy Estate, not much activities as its winter, just cleaning out some barrels and preparing for the upcoming season.
French Oak barrel, customized with Fermoy Estate's logo, nice touch!
The barrel storage, where the wine is maturing before getting bottled
Liz Dawson the winemaker at Fermoy Estate
Tasting some new wines straight from the barrel, this is a Chardonnay 2010 still on leese, this wine has a great future ahead.
The pavilion located next to the dam in the heart of the estate
The pavilion in a close up, great for VIP functions or a corporate wine & food experience.
The Cottage of Fermoy Estate in the middle of their Vineyards, the cottage is available for rent, just contact the winery for more information.
Fermoy Estate is in excellent company!
After Margaret River, I drove to the Great Southern region where I visited the wine regions of Pemberton, DenMark, Mount Barker and Albany. First stop was Denmark and here a sideview of the beautiful winery and restaurant of Forrest Hill in Denmark, worth the ride!
A view from the Forrest Hill Winery on the beautiful Denmark region
Rolling hills and vineyards at the Mount Barker area, a beautiful drive!
I was invited to join in at a blending tasting for a small winery called Montefalco, creating a preservative free Sangiovese Merlot blend. An unique opportunity as this gives a rare view in the process of wine blending.
setting up the different concoctions of the blend, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%
The final tasting, the result was 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, all good to go for bottling!
