Learn About Ferngrove Wines

Ferngrove Winery’s excellence starts in the vineyards, in the fertile soil of the Great Southern region. The Great Southern Estate Vineyard portfolio is now comprised of three unique properties: The Ferngrove Home Block, Vintage Park, and Ferndale. Using only 100% Estate-grown fruit, each site produces grapes with equally distinctive flavours due to variations in soils, microclimate, exposure, and other viticultural factors.

Located in one of the southernmost points of the state, the Great Southern region stands out as one of the coolest wine-producing areas in Australia. This unique climate necessitates a later vintage compared to other local regions, allowing grapes to ripen gradually and evenly over an extended period, thereby maximising flavour and varietal character.

While grapes from warmer regions ripen swiftly, resulting in wines that are fuller-bodied, higher in natural sugar, lower in acidity, and higher in alcohol content, grapes grown in cooler regions like the Great Southern mature and develop their flavors slowly. The resulting Ferngrove wines are renowned for their complexity and balance, boasting elevated acidity and nuanced mineral flavours, making them exceptionally food-friendly.

There is a growing global trend towards wines from cooler climate regions, with the Great Southern region, nestled in Australia’s South West corner, recognized as one of the premier “Dress Circle” cool climate regions by James Halliday.
