I’ve worked with Mike Garland for nearly a decade – and when he started ‘The Garland Project’ with son Callum I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work together again. It would be quite easy to make a case for Mike being WA’s best winemaker – he’s won the biggest awards at the biggest wine shows, in some years going to back to back trophies for best wine. All this done with no ego. That’s Legit! Mikes breadth of winemaking prowess – from funky whole bunch, to classic Burgundian & Germanic styles, is unsurpassed. Fervor wines by The Garland Project is one of the most exciting winemaking ventures of 2022!

In Mike’s words: “We’ve been making cool climate wines since 1996, entirely in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia. Over 25 years in the Great Southern has allowed me to form some very close relationships with some of the best small vineyards in the region and it was time to have some fun. My son Callum has followed me into the winemaking world, from the Great Southern, to the Rhone, to Victoria. Our aim with Fervor is to draw connections from all the great people we’ve met during our journey – have some fun and make some really great wines. We will be making an eclectic range of cool climate classics as well as some interesting takes on what we love to drink“
