Margaret River, Western Australia
Margaret River’s jarrah and marri forests give way to sun, surf, sand – and since the 1970s, some of the most powerful, yet elegant Cabernets and Chardonnays around. It’s also famed for sumptuous Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends.
Solid winter rainfall preceded a mild and dry spring allowing the vines to flourish with healthy and balanced canopies. Mild and dry conditions continued through the growing season which produced grapes with succulent natural acidity with intense depth and flavour.
