"A blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Malbec, The Fergus has pronounced red and black berry aromas accompanied by baking spice and floral notes. A luxurious, rich feel on the palate, with smooth tannins, make this wine a perfect pairing for barbeques and roasted dishes. Drinking beautifully now, the wine shows great freshness with developing tertiary aromas." - Wine House
"Our twenty fourth release of The Fergus is named after our neighbour who was good enough to sell us his Grenache grapes in the vintage of 1993, during a desperate shortage of Shiraz and Cabernet. We quickly realised that a wine born from logistics had real potential as a medium, juicy style with both immediate and long term food compatibility. This wine has lifted red strawberry and cherry aromas and flavours of Tempranillo, with spiciness from Grenache and mid palate richness with plum and violet characters coming from Malbec. Ageing in older French oak hogsheads adds subtle, integrated perfume and toasted characters. It is a luscious mouth filling wine with silky tannin that with careful cellaring may be kept for up to 15-20 years." - Tim Adams
