Regions explained Margaret River

Since the first significant commercial planting of vines in 1967, the Margaret River wine region has built an international reputation as a true home of fine wine capable of achieving parity and more with the world’s best. It is hard to believe that just four decades ago Margaret River was better known for its various classic surf breaks, until scientists like Dr Gladstones identified it as a prime location for premium wine production. Highly regarded as a producer of powerful yet elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, the region has also forged a great reputation for its white wines notably Chardonnay and Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc blends. The region is a vibrant and popular wine destination for visitors from around the world.
