THE MARGARET RIVER REGION
- One of the most remote wine growing regions in the world.
- Unique maritime influence of the Indian Ocean provides ideal conditions to create consistent benchmark wines of outstanding quality.
- Summertime southerly winds and the cooling influence of the Leeuwin current.
- Soils formed in situ, weathered from an ancient land mass 2000 million years old.
- Decomposed granite, forming undulating well-drained ironstone gravel soils with underlying clay - excellent vine growing soil.
- Most vineyards are within 3 – 7km of the coast at elevations of between 150 and 200 metres.
- The wine growing potential of the region was first identified by agricultural scientist Dr John Gladstone in the mid 1960’s
