Ferngrove Wines

A Journey of Isolation, Passion, and Perfection In the heart of Western Australia's Great Southern wine region, Ferngrove Wines has established itself as a preeminent Great Southern wine producer. Our Winery and Estate, located 360km south of Perth, is one of the most isolated vineyard locations in the world - a solitude that sets the stage for a truly unique winemaking story. The story of Ferngrove begins in 1998 when the three founders Murray Burton, Merve Lange and Ted Avery unearthed this exceptional area of land. Situated 90 kilometres inland from the coastline, the valleys and slopes of the Frankland River region were untouched and raw, yet brimming with potential. This special combination of elements - isolated terrain, ancient soils, and the moderating cool influence of the nearby oceans—created an ideal environment for vines to thrive. Grapes here ripen slowly, nurtured by nature's rhythm, allowing the winemakers the luxury of time to perfect their craft. For the team at Ferngrove, isolation is not a barrier; it is a chance to be pioneers and visionaries. Every member of the team is driven by a shared belief: great wine is born not only from the land but from a deep respect for the process of winemaking itself. Ferngrove’s wines are a true reflection of their origins. Each grape variety tells the story of its birthplace—the land, the weather, the people, and the commitment to excellence that spans over two decades. Now, as Ferngrove celebrates over 25 years of winemaking, the story is just beginning. With each vintage, the estate continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, while honouring the past and the timeless connection between the land and the winemaker. At Ferngrove Wines, it is not just about crafting exceptional wines - it is about telling a story of passion, patience, and a deep respect for nature’s rhythms. A story that will continue to unfold, bottle by bottle, for generations to come.
