Margaret River is one of the most vibrant and popular wine destinations in Australia. Well known for producing excellent wines and surf breaks alike.
The region attracted interest in the 1970’s after Dr John Gladstones wrote about the impressive attributes the area displayed for winemaking.
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is influenced by a strong maritime climate produced by Southern Ocean, Geographe Bay and the Indian Ocean.
The landscape is dotted by an abundance of small creeks and gentle valleys along with a profusion of native bush.
Overall the climatic conditions can be summed up as being similar to that of Pomerol and St. Emillion in a dry vintage, hence the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon.
