OUR HOME, MARGARET RIVER
“Margaret River looks like nothing else, it behaves like nothing else, it’s not Burgundy, it’s not Napa, it’s not Bordeaux, so I think the beauty for a wine lover, they come to Margaret River, they get to explore something that they have never had before, it’s not comparable to anything else. The expression here is different to anything else they can taste in the world.” - Frederique Perrin
Margaret River's climate is characterised by a Mediterranean climate with a maritime influence. The region experiences moderately wet winters and long dry summers, with a dual climate effect created by its proximity to two oceans. The morning sun heats the grapes, while the evening breeze from the west cools them off. The micro-climates in the region are unique, with varying weather conditions and soil combinations altering the environmental structure within meters on a single block. This diversity in fruit is not seen anywhere else, making Margaret River a special place for wine production.
With consistent seasons and minimal extremes Margaret River doesn’t need a lot to excel, it produces world class wines naturally.
“This terroir for me is one that is so unique if you have a line-up of Shiraz, you can always pick Margaret River. It’s very elegant, more old-world style, very traditional, a lot of floral, there is a lot of ethereal characters, and the combo, I don’t think I have seen it anywhere else in the world really.” - Frederique Perrin
Our vines thrive in the rich soil of ironstone gravel. The distinct and secluded region standing on the ancient granite landforms creates complex landscapes that produce wines of distinction and consistency.
We wanted to create wines that reflect Margaret River and its unique style of wine from providing the optimum growing conditions to achieve balance between foliage and fruit, which form superb aromas and flavour intensity.
Origin Of Now – If the Margaret River region had a voice, this would be what it wants to express.
