People have scoured the globe searching for great winemaking regions only to find that they are few and far between. They appear as little strips of land in a select few countries. Margaret River is one of them.
The region's wines, both red and white, have enjoyed great success in Australian and international markets over many years and, quite rightly, are regarded as being among the finest of Australian wines.
In the sixties, a scholar by the name of John Gladstones wrote about the quality of the Margaret River region. He wrote about the similarities of Margaret River and the great winemaking region of Bordeaux. 'The perfect weather doesn’t send the fruit through many extremes each day and the perfect soil conditions help the vines work hard to produce that perfect flavour.' We have listed some of the many wineries in the region below. |
| Eagle Vale Estate |
Eagle Vale's coastal vineyard produces low yielding, high quality, dry grown fruit exclusively used in our wines. The highest quality oak is used to making this fruit into distinctive and stylish wines. Whilst Margaret River defines the best of Australian wine we strive to present uniqueness and use creativity to characterize our wines. Fruit intensity, balanced acids and oak use produce enduring wines that can be enjoyed now. |
