I don’t know the exact point in time I became a fan of Fermoy Estate, but once onboard – I am now a huge fan. A number of years back, they had this minty cabernet sauvignon, when chatting to the staff at the cellar door.

They kind of deny this, but then they say they have so many people talk to them about their old minty cabernet sauvignon, they are starting to believe it themselves. You read the tasting notes and you sometimes struggle to identify the nose and palate described on the notes; while we might not be trained like a winemaker.

We know what we like and as consumers are willing to pay a premium for a good product. So at the Perth Food and Wine Show I signed up to their wine club after a pretty good day of tasting and I’m pretty happy I did as every couple of months a new carton of wine arrives and I can reacquaint myself with this wonderful selection of wine.
