THE FERNGROVE STORY
This 5 star winery is situated in Frankland River, some 360kms south of Perth in Western Australia, and was established in 1998 by Ferngrove founder Murray Burton. Murray's faith in this unique vineyard region was well founded. Thanks to its location 90kms from the coast, between the cooling influence of the converging Southern and Indian oceans, the region has a cool climate that allows grapes to ripen with remarkable consistency from year to year. Delivering fruit and thus wine with characteristic delicacy and clear varietal character.
Ferngrove has established a reputation as a premium wine producer in the Frankland River region, and the winery is fast becoming recognised for its production of outstanding, cool climate wines from estate-grown fruit. In his 2009 Australian Wine Companion, prominent Australian wine critic James Halliday, awarded Ferngrove's winery 5 out of 5 stars for the fifth consecutive year. He labels Ferngrove as "an outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and quantity."

FRANKLAND RIVER REGION
Frankland River is one of the coolest wine producing regions in Western Australia. As such, vintage takes place later than in other West Australian regions, with grapes harvested from late February through to early May. Frankland River has been touted as capable of matching and even surpassing the famous Rhone region of France for the production of ultra premium quality Shiraz. In fact, all the traditional European classic varieties perform well in Frankland’s conditions including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Wines produced from Frankland River fruit are usually of very high quality, have a lower alcohol content and are delicate, with intense varietal characters.
