Being in the Margaret River region, winemakers here are passionate about Chardonnay and we’re no exception. Our Chardonnay may have been fermented and matured in oak barrels for 11 months, but it’s vibrantly fresh and flavoursome, with an amazingly soft and velvety texture.

After making truly wonderful shiraz wines in the Barossa Valley, some of the most interesting and complex shiraz wines that we were tasting in Western Australia were from the Frankland River sub-region of the Great Southern wine region. So, naturally, we had to make one!

The inspiration for making this style came about from a trip to Austria.  Our approach to  combine some barrel fermentation with an extended period of time maturing on yeast lees has produced a beautifully textured and intensely flavoured wine.

Our cabernet sauvignon vines were grown by Neil from cuttings sourced from a friends’ cabernet block in the planted in the 1970’s in the Margaret River wine region. Our Elevation cabernet vines have a very fine pedigree!

We love Viognier for it’s generosity of flavours and it’s ability to match with a wide range of foods, including dishes with spicy, chilli and thai flavours. Warning, you may fall in love with it too!

We have one row of this variety in our Whicher Ridge vineyard which we planted in 2005. Une Rangée is the French translation for One Row. Our Petit Verdot is made in ‘petit’ volumes with only 120 cases made in 2016.

Redtail is a wine which we are particularly proud of. It is a uniquely Australian sparkling wine style! Ours is a blend of Shiraz and Viognier, and we have named it after the small flocks of endangered Redtail Forest black cockatoos that visit our farm regularly during summer.

A blanc de blanc sparkling made from chardonnay. The secondary ferment occurs in the bottle, which is when the magic happens and those glorious fine beads of bubbles are created. Whitetail is named after the endangered Whitetail Black Cockatoos who regularly visit our farm.

The shiraz grapes are grown on a friend’s vineyard in Donnybrook. This area of the Geographe Wine Region consistently produces intensely flavoured shiraz that’s perfect for making a soft, fruity, textured wine .

The Geographe Wine Region is renowned for making stunning sauvignon blanc semillon (SBS) blends. Blend a little semillon in with the sauvignon blanc, and it’s a match made in heaven!

Pruning is damn hard work, and after a hard day’s work, it’s a treat to have a glass of bubbles before dinner, or to pick out a special bottle of wine to enjoy with your dinner. Neil, the master pruner, has selected his favourite wines to make up this special 12 bottle case!  With a […]
