Western Australia

The home to Australia’s very best Cabernet and Chardonnay

Western Australia, especially the Margaret River, is responsible for making some of the most sought after expressions of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia. There are 9 wine regions in WA and the wines typically have depth of fruit, good ripeness and acidity with a unique line of minerality that runs through the fruit. Some think it might come from the ocean breeze that flows throughout vineyards. Other common varieties you will find include Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Shiraz.
