Margaret River Wine Region

​A internationally-renowned region of distinction

We are lucky to be part of the incredible landscape of Margaret River. Nestled in the south-west corner of Western Australia, Margaret River is one of the largest and most distinct wine regions in Australia, stretching some 100 kilometres from north to south and around 27 kilometres wide in parts.

The shape of a vineyard is determined by the quality of the soils, so the vineyards of Margaret River are small and varied, and while the region is spread over 3,000 square kilometres, there are only 54 square kilometres under vine (about 5,000ha) Located in what James Halliday refers to as the ‘golden triangle’ of Margaret River (encompassing Voyager Estate, Leeuwin Estate and Cape Mentelle), the gravel soils, microclimate, aspect and consistent maritime influence of Stevens Valley are the foundations of our wine style.

For more specific information on each season, visit Our Wines, where each wine has tasting notes detailing season, vineyard conditions and winemaking techniques. 

Dr John Gladstones

The now-famous paper published by Dr John Gladstones in the 1960's identified Margaret River as a perfect place for premium wine, writing; “… I believe Margaret River will with time become one of the world’s great wine regions."

In conjunction with scientific research by Professor Harold Olmo from America, Dr Gladstone's findings have been proven by the capability of Margaret River’s soils and micro-climates to produce world-class wines. That it has come so far in less than 50 years is a tribute not only to natural advantage, but also very largely to the skill and dedication of the pioneering vignerons and winemakers. And with few of the wines yet to fully mature, surely the best is still to come.

Climate

With 80% of the annual rainfall in winter, and warm to hot summer conditions, Margaret River has low humidity and therefore less chance for disease during the vital growing and ripening period. It also has constant warmth when the vines need it most.

Maritime Influence

As the Margaret River region is surrounded on three sides by the Indian Ocean, the cooling sea breezes temper the summer heat, protecting the vines from temperature extremes. This maritime influence provides a consistent climate, which is perfect for the region’s more elegant and subtle styles of wines.

Voyager Estate is only 5 kilometres from the ocean, as the crow flies, which is acknowledged in the name of our Girt by Sea Cabernet Merlot and Girt by Sea Chardonnay.
