Margaret River š·
Tucked into the south-west corner of Western Australia, Margaret River has built a world-class w**e reputation in a remarkably short time, with its first commercial vines planted in the late 1960s!
A big part of the story is geography. With ocean on three sides, the vineyards experience a Mediterranean climate moderated by cooling sea breezes. Warm, dry summers allow the grapes to ripen steadily, while the regionās ancient, free-draining gravelly soils are especially well suited to growing premium fruit.
The result? Cabernet Sauvignon known for its elegance, fine tannins and dark-fruit character; Chardonnay with freshness, intensity and often a distinctive citrus edge. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are important here too, frequently appearing together in the regionās crisp, aromatic white blends.
