FERMOY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2021
FERMOY SAUVIGNON BLANC Passionfruit, kiwi and guava fruits combine with subtle herbal notes of lime leaf, lemon thyme and lavender. Textured and mouth-filling, fleshy fruits of pear and guava fill the mid-palate before intertwining with hints of nutty oak spice and flinty complexity. A soft, talc-like mineral acid focuses the finish around notes of cashew, lemon barley and kaffir lime. A cooler vintage by Margaret River standards resulting in white wines with heightened aromatics and bright natural acids. Ready for immediate drinking and will continue to drink well over the next 3-4 years.

Regions
This small, isolated region surrounded by the ocean in Western Australia produces Australia’s finest wines.
Where are the vineyards?
Vineyards are spread throughout the peninsula but are concentrated mainly with the best free-draining soils, known locally as Forest Grove soils. These ironstone gravels retain heat, are perfect for ripening grapes, and are free draining.
Though these soils are famous in the region, Margaret River has a mosaic of soil types. And though it doesn’t have any official sub-regions, some areas are known and can be mentioned on the wine label.
The areas that have the most plantings of vines are Yallingup, Wilyabrup, and Wallcliffe. These tend to have the highest proportions of Forest Grove soils, but they can vary drastically from vineyard to vineyard.
