What do you love most about your region?

We love the Swan Valley’s heritage – it’s the cradle of agriculture in Western Australia. Wine has been made here since the 1830s with many multigenerational family wineries. It has great winemaking traditions with over 135 years of making white, red and fortified wines from verdelho, shiraz and muscat. The Mediterranean climate is perfectly suited to making generous, rich, flavoursome wines in a remarkable range of styles – fine sparkling wines, bright fresh fruity whites, soft generous reds, and powerful fortifieds.

How do your wines reflect the region?

Our wines are distinctive and full-flavoured. They have ripe fruit flavours, soft acidity and tannins and exhibit wonderful drinkability. We make modern examples of varieties that have demonstrated their suitability for our climate for well over 100 years.
