Multicultural success story

A CHINESE proprietor and a winemaking duo from Chile and South Africa – it’s a combination that is producing some impressive wines from Western Australia’s remote Frankland River area. Along with Mount Barker and Albany, Frankland River is a sub-region of Western Australia’s Great Southern Wine Region. The Ferngrove vineyard’s proximity to the Southern and Indian oceans produces cool-climate grapes that bring forth wines under the Stirlings, Orchid, Frankland River symbols and Leaping Lizard labels and is owned by Chinese national Xingfa Ma.
