Fermoy Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 displays a deep plum red hue with black highlights. Its bouquet reveals salted raspberry, mulberry, bramble, tobacco, and bay leaf, layered with intricate hints of ground coffee, dark chocolate, and five-spice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich with fruit sweetness, featuring classic cassis, raspberry, and olive tapenade. Savory tobacco leaf and dried herb notes mingle with exotic spices, bitter cocoa, and graphite, enhancing complexity. Balanced by lively acidity and supported by fine, earthy tannins, this wine offers structure and length. Ideal with roasted leg of lamb, minted peas, and potato dauphinoise.

“100% cabernet sauvignon, Houghton clone. Matured for 18 months in French oak
(36% new). You know when you spot Houghton clone from Wilyabrup that you’re in for
a succulent, red-fruited time. It’s a combination of the clone and the dirt and it’s good. While the oak is initially prominent now, the fruit behind it is precisely as expected – singing. This may need a little more time for the oak to recede, however the fruit is bang- on and the tannins are a highlight. Gorgeous. Drink 2021-2036”

Winery & Vintage Info

Fruit sourced from various blocks – a combination of hand- and machine-picked fruit was de-stemmed to a mix of open and static fermenters. Generally, ferments were cold-soaked, with a controlled ferment allowing for considered and gentle maceration on skins. Wines spent between 2–4 weeks on skins, depending on the parcel and fermenter, with MLF completed before pressing off skins to tank for a quick settle before racking to oak. Wines then spent the next 18 months in oak with no racking or movement – just a monthly topping. Cabernet blends were assembled in December 2020 according to barrel selection, prior to a light egg fining, long-term settling in tank and filtration before bottling in June 2021.

Tannins are plentiful – providing a structural framework to the wine and ensuring good cellaring potential of 8–12 years. However, they are sufficiently matured to allow for immediate enjoyment.
