Margaret river

Maritime Margaret River is a beautiful mixing pot of nature, surf and wine. It’s a rare place in that it produces some of Australia’s most stylish and prized Chardonnays as well as some of our most elegant and complex Cabernets. On paper it sounds like a lovechild between Bordeaux and Burgundy, but in reality it’s not.

A few hours south of Perth, Margaret River is home to some of Australia’s greatest wineries – Cullen, Vasse Felix, Leeuwin, Moss Wood and Cape Mentelle. In terms of newcomers, we take our hats off to Nocturne, Dormilona and Flametree.

Chardonnay, semillion and sauvignon blanc lead the charge on the white grapes. Oak is favoured in the premium styles which complements a rich core of nectarines, peaches and orchard fruits.  For reds, cabernet is the chosen one, and is often blended with merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot. These red blends personify elegance and ageability.

 

The wines of Margaret River fly the flag for modern Australian wines, a beautiful balance of fruit and workmanship.

------------


The Margaret River wine region (some 240km south of Perth) is the most important region, alon with the Great Southern in Western Australia. Its viticultural history began in the nineteenth century on a very small scale when the grandfather of Dr Kevin Cullen, founder of Cullen Wines established vineyards at Bunbury in 1890, though the vineyard site has now been absorbed by Bunburys unban suburbs. Contemporary Margaret river viticulture began in 1967 when Perth cardiologist Tom Cullity - inspired by papers written by John Gladstones from the University of WA which suggested Margaret River was a good place to grow grapes - planted the first commercial vineyard at Vasse Felix.  Moss Wood, Cape Mentelle and Cullen soon followed and since then Margaret River has grown to become regarded as one of Australia's, and the world's great wine-producing regions and today there are nearly 5,500 hectares under vine and over 120 wine producers in the region.

Though warm, Margaret River's proximity to the Indian Ocean provides a moderating effect ensuring a temperate dry climate which is often likened to Bordeaux, in part due to the moderating influence of its proximity to the ocean and also due to the marked similarities between the average growing tempreture in Margaret River and Bordeaux in a dry vintage. These warm even growing conditions allow for the cultivation of a number of diverse grape varieties, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc (often blended together) does well here, producing fresh textural white wines best condumed in their youth. However, the real heroes are the world class Chardonnays (headed by Leeuwin Estate and Cullen) and Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet blends, Cullen and Moss Wood, that have done much to propel both the region and it's star performers on the world stage.  Vasse Felix, Voyager Estate, Cullen, Moss Wood, Lenton Brae, Pierro, Fraser Gallop and Woodlands are just some of the benchmark producers.

  1. Fraser Gallop Estate Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
    Fraser Gallop Estate Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

    86/6/4/3/1% cabernet sauvignon/petit verdot/malbec/merlot/cabernet franc. Reaching heights of near perfection, '18 was a vintage responsible for wines just like this. Supple intensity, concentration of flavour without a gram of weight, the length of flavour possessed only by very healthy, perfectly ripe and balanced grapes. What a gloriously seamless wine, continuing the proud legacy of Parterre. Drink by 2041. (96) ERIN LARKIN, Wine Companion

    Sporting a slightly different label now, with the house in a fetching sort of purple. The splash of colour works well. Here we have 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc all grown on the estate at Wilyabrup.

    Blackberry and boysenberry, sage and mint, fetching floral perfume, baking spice and vanilla custard oak. It’s medium-bodied with pleasing density of fruit, plenty of fine grained graphite tannin, cool acidity, so svelte and composed, with a long pencilly finish. Needs a little more time for the oak to integrate, but the feel of it, its balance and shape, mark it out as an excellent wine. (95) GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

    Nocturne SR Rose 2022
    This has the Julian Langworthy trademark rose-gold blush and texture. The 88% sangiovese is destemmed and left on lees for three months; the 8% tempranillo is whole-bunch pressed to old oak. The remaining 4% is grenache. This comes together beautifully. Fragrant with florals, red licorice, freshly grated ginger and a tinge of red berries. The palate is perfectly modulated between the super-refreshing acidity and its creamy texture. JANE FAULKNER, Halliday Wine Companion

  9. McHenry Hohnen Calgardup Brook Vineyard Chardonnay 2019
    McHenry Hohnen Calgardup Brook Vineyard Chardonnay 2019
    Rock salt, smoke and seaweed on rocks - a wine that smells of the sea. But, oh how it thrills and fills into its fruit on the palate. Hazelnuts, almond blossom, masses of chalk-lined lime; cold white apples, gold-skinned. Long-limbed, rangy, breathtakingly graceful. It has a saline sparsity, yet draws a crescent line through the mouth, filling every corner with a cool lunar glow and the promise of fulness to come. The finest gauze of white pepper, peppermint and pressed-pear sweetness on the finish. Super-subtle complexity. (17.5+) TAMLYN CURRIN, jancisrobinson.com

    The 2019 vintage was cool in Margaret River, with no shortage of rain. For those producers that handled the vineyards with detail and agile responsiveness, the vintage was a resounding success. The 2019 Calgardup Brook Vineyard Chardonnay is minerally and layered with graphite and flint laced into the aromatics. In the mouth, the wine is taut and spicy, but it has expanse and shape through the mid-palate onward, too. Through the finish, there's a saline/nougat nutty character: almond skin and walnut. Very smart. A brilliant wine that will only improve. (95+) ERIN LARKIN, wineadvocate.com

  11. Cullen Diana Madeline 2021
    Cullen Diana Madeline 2021
    Diana Madeline. The name evokes a lot of emotions, for what the woman stood for then and what the wine stands for now. The 2021 vintage equals 50 years of cabernet sauvignon plantings at Cullen. When released in early 2023, it was on what would have been her 100th birthday. It’s a wine that can come from nowhere else, so strong is its sense of place. Expect to swoon over aromas of roses, violets and mulberries doused in baking spices, a ferruginous quality as much as detailed if persuasive tannins. It’s complex, complete and structured. Gosh, what a wine. What a woman. The perfect combination. (97) JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday

  13. Hay Shed Hill Block 2
    Hay Shed Hill Block 2

    BLOCK 2 on the Hay Shed Hill vineyard was planted in 1975 to the Houghton clone of Cabernet Sauvignon. These old dry grown vines have sunk deep roots into the gravelly loam soil profile providing the nutrient basis they need. Block 2 has a steep northern facing aspect maximizing the sunlight interception by the vines providing ideal ripening conditions. 
    COLOUR: Dense dark red to black colour of great intensity.TASTING NOTES: Ripe berry aromas of great intensity with underlying dusty and earthy characters. There is depth to the nose indicating there are reserves of complex aromas yet to develop. The palate is substantial with intense and fully ripe, fleshy sweet fruit filling the mid palate with great palate extension driven by the ripe and mature tannin. The mouthfeel is robust but the tannins are smooth.CELLARING: This is a strong wine with ripe tannin and strong fruit depth indicating it will benefit from careful cellaring. The expectation is that the wine would benefit from 10 years of maturation. HAY SHED HILL

  17. Voyager Estate Chenin Blanc 2023
    Voyager Estate Chenin Blanc 2023
    Fruit for the Chenin Blanc comes from three organically farmed estate blocks on the Voyager Estate property. Voyager has some of the oldest Chenin Blanc in the Margaret River region, with some of the vines planted as far back as 1978. The vineyard soils are mostly gravelly loams with stony clay subsoils, providing excellent drainage and good moisture-holding capacity. The resulting fruit has exceptional balance.

    Toasty brioche, buttercups, wild herbs, pears, apples and stone fruit on a perfumed nose. Clear, focused and linear. A feeling of latent power; seamless integration and long finish. Truly well-balanced DECNATER

    This has the same back label fruit description of white grapefruit and nectarine as its Artus Chardonnay sibling, but that is where the similarity ends. This is all about purity and finesse, the fruit flavours strung on a necklace of diamonds, oak incidental. JAMES HALLIDAY

  23. Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay 2022
    Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay 2022

    So I'll open by saying that for me one of the most rewarding aspects of working in the wine industry is the people you meet. I truly believe that this industry is a unique resource of some of the most brilliant minds you'll ever come across. This can be particularly so when travelling to regions and meeting producers who have devoted their lives to understanding the art and science of turning grapes into wine on the particular plots of dirt where they've found themselves living out their lives. My highlight this year was visiting Bruce Dukes at Domaine Naturaliste.

    The project of Domaine Naturaliste is one of understanding living systems. This is Bruce's pervasive motivation. There are biological systems in every part of the wine to table matrix. In the glass, in the bottle, in the barrel, in the winery, in the vineyard, in the region, on the earth. Furthermore,  on an aesthetic level, the winery is a tech-lovers paradise. It looks like how I would imagine NASA might design a winery. It's slick, ultra clean, and the record keeping looks like it would rival the Apollo missions. Big wow.

    The 'Discovery Series' is Bruce's entry level tier and are a real highlight - these wines are the perfect introduction to the project of Domaine Naturaliste and the best of the bunch for me is the Chardonnay. 7 months sur lie, early battonage to bring texture and purity of fruit. This is a really smart wine at the price point and shows like good clever Margaret River Chardonnay. Grapefruit, custard apple, white peach, white flowers, chalk and flint. Really punching above its weight at the price point. Lovingly referred to by Bruce and Wendy as "disco" Chardonnay. Stop what you are doing and buy this wine!  EFFIE, PWS

  24. Pierro Chardonnay 2022
    Pierro Chardonnay 2022
    '…this wine is powerful, rich and precise. It's full-bodied and layered with ripe stone fruit, nutty, creamy lees and spicy oak, and yet, the super-tight acid line seems to corral all those overt flavours into submission driving to a long, resounding finish while allowing moreish, savoury aspects to rise - lemon-lime freshness cleansing the palate. Impressive. JANE FAULKNER, winecompanion.com

    Peach, pear and fennel, spiced butter cashews, flinty top note, a little saline with it. Lively acidity and chalky dusty texture, creamy with some tropical accents, and a lime-laced finish of excellent length. Such regal carriage and delivery of bold Chardonnay flavour.

  27. Nocturne SR Chardonnay 2022
    Nocturne SR Chardonnay 2022
    This wine is, unsurprisingly, just right. In fact, I think this is easily the most righteous SR Chardonnay made to date.  It’s pale green, smells of white stone fruits and gun flint and sea breeze.  It is more restrained perhaps, than the traditional stylings of Margaret River but I think it’s all the better for its understated awesomeness if you will. As with every Nocturne wine, the texture and flavour are to die for & impeccably framed by sherbet-like acidity and fine phenolic structure… Chardonnay is what Jesus made when he turned water into wine; it’s also why we winemakers have a God complex. – JULIAN LANGWORTHY, Winemaker - Nocturne

    A lovely waxy, green tea candle note lifts in the subtle white peach, pear and green plum perfume, accompanied by complex floral aromas of Jasmine and camomile and sexy hints of rock flint and vanilla bean. More savoury complexity will develop with time in the bottle.

    A lovely rich core framed by a delicate dry structure. The satin palate features complex flavours of purified lemon, a hint of ginger, custard and delicate peach, and finishes with a lovely dry, chalky feel.

  30. Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2022
    Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2022
    A beautiful, restrained Heytesbury this year, a wine of brilliant, yet quiet complexity. A wine that whispers from the glass with grapefruit, sea-spray, flint and and sweet spice. Get it past the gums and there's more of that classic pink grapefruit, white peach and saline acidity, a little Paloma-esque if you will. The texture here is wonderful as the wine floods the palate with sizzling energy and intensity before the powdery texture and taut zesty acidity and reigns everything in leaving you with a long drying finish flecked with crushed rock. A wine that oozes class and polish. ALEX DOBSON, PWS

  31. Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
    Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

    Ok what can one say about Xanadu….. I find that wines are always better when made by a winemaker with a particular distinct hairstyle or head of hair, or in Glen’s case, a distinct lack thereof. A modern-day Yul Brynner or possibly winemaking’s Michael Klim Glen’s Cab’s are incredibly, annoyingly, consistently excellent…. Something stupid like nine consecutive trophies at the National Wineshow and a Jimmy Watson thrown in the mix likely reinforces this statement at least a little.
    Soo the 2021 Xan Cabernet – fair to say a tricky vintage in Margaret River. It rained and was generally cool and inclement caused plenty of winemakers to lose some hair over picking decisions, but not Glen obviously, having no hair to lose was a distinct advantage at this juncture and this wine is in fact delish.
    Brightly coloured, with big lift, smells of blackcurrants, cedar, classy oak, and a touch, but not a touch too much, after dinner mint. The palate is refined and very fine taking after the vintage that was, but surpassing it, with layers of crunchy red fruits and oh so fine perfectly al dente tannins. I kinda feel that this wine is ready and raring to go and a great option to smash on a Tuesday whilst awaiting some more brooding MR vintages such as 18 or 20 to spend a bit of extra time in the Vintec. JULIAN LANGWORTHY

    SPECIAL VALUE - Year in year out this cabernet delivers... If anything, this is quite tight and needs more time in the cellar, if you can’t wait, decant. It reveals an exuberant fruit profile, given its youth, from mulberries and cassis to blackberries all offset by complex savoury notes, think nori, iodine and tapenade, a flutter of spice, too and a little smoky. It’s fine boned in a way, as it’s just medium-bodied with filigree tannins, neat acidity and a radicchio bitterness to finish. I kept coming back to this wine – it unfurled in the glass but also, a few days later, still impressive. JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday’s Wine Companion

    Another fantastic wine that continues the line that winemaker Goodall established some years ago. It is a wine that always delivers so much above its price point. This is a tighter and slightly firmer expression of Margaret River cabernet than the 2020, yet there is plenty of power and drive through an intense and concentrated palate. Perfumed aromas of blackcurrant and bay leaf with a trace of edgy black olive. The structural core provides so much poise to a wine that will cellar exceptionally well. RAY JORDAN, Best of the Best Wine of 2023

    I think Margaret River winemakers have it too easy. Every season is perfect, a little rain and they call it tricky… maybe get off your surfboards for a bit and jump on the tractor? #justsaying.
    There is plenty of fuel in the tank here, I think if you give it some time this will expand beautifully. Loads of personality and an easy sense to the delivery of a range of fairly sumptuous fruit that is more caressing in nature, the tannins playing to the right tune. They are supportive but also they are noticeable, I want to see some structure in my Cabernet, call me crazy. This isn’t a soft and easy going thing, its bloody delicious, don’t get me wrong, there is a reason I keep going back for another bottle, but there’s a little heft and chew to the wine which lends it a classy, sophisticated edge, a bit of stature and presence.
    Look, my job is to convince you to buy Cabernet, so here is my sales pitch. This wine will knock the socks off so many things you buy around this price point, or much more, and it will do so in a cool, calm and collected manner. This wine knows what it’s about, it has swagger to spare and looks the part. Unlike Glenn, this wine scrubs up beautifully and I for one will continue to drink it. I’d love to see a bottle in five years and another in ten. Nice work again, ripping expression of Margs Cab with all the bits in all the right places. ROSCOE

    Juniper Canvas Malbec 2023
    Could Mark Messenger be Mr Malbec? JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday

    He could be if this anything to go buy. Juniper Estate have long been a go-to value proposition and its for 2 very simple reasons; the winemaking is always spot-on and the price is laughable given the quality.

    We recently tried the tempranillo along with the malbec and it was a tough, tough decision deciding which to put in here. What we liked about the Malbec was that extra depth, a little more dark fruit and a little more of a serious edge all-round that pushed it just above the tempranillo.

    Lovely mulberry and broody black fruit with delicate violet florals and earthy ground spice. Forest fruits all, wild black berry, that spice mulberry again along all wrapped up in a buoyant and bouncy package. Its not simple or one dimensional either with a touch of meaty reduction and savoury, provincial herb-like profile that elevates the fruit and ads some light and dark shade to the wines. What a cracker!

  41. Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay 2021
    Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay 2021

    The 2021 Art Series Chardonnay leads with a distinctly floral nose: jasmine and white garden rose, wisteria and lemon blossom… On the palate, the wine is powerful and savory-it leans heavily on exotic dry spice and cracked honeycomb, with hints of salted butter on fresh white bread, beeswax and salted pink grapefruit. Stylistically, it is not dissimilar to the 2017; however, the dovetailing of acid and fruit feels seamless and well matched here. The wine is piercing and structural, tightly coiled and almost rigid, in the best of ways. It's an impressive wine, one that, at this stage of its life, is defined by its penetrating acid line. Sealed under screw cap. (97+) ERIN LARKIN

    Pear, lime, grapefruit, floral too, with a distinct mint/aniseed top note, backed with discreet spicy cinnamon/ginger oak. It's fresh and lively, quite saline too, flinty and chalky, a honey ginger drink character in the mix, along with a cucumber coolness and biscuit spices, a whole lot of presence and power here, delivered in a kind of understated, but confident way. The finish is very long, and refreshing. Gee, this is good wine. It ripples through the mouth like a flat white stone pitched across a cool lake. That's an image for you, and I'll leave you with that. (97) GARY WALSH

    There's always an anticipation when a new vintage arrives. This doesn't disappoint - it's archetypal Art Series: powerful, rich and layered with flavour from stone fruit, pink grapefruit and Meyer lemon to a touch of mandarin. The palate builds with creamy lees, oak spice and some phenolics - the oak is superbly integrated, and pure acidity leads this to a persistent finish. Impressive as always. (97) JANE FAULKNER

    Cullen Diana Madeline 2022

    Deep bright purple-red colour leading into a stylish bouquet of sweet mulberry and other berry fruits, violets and cassis, succulent and mouth-filling, with masses of fine emery-like tannins that run the length of the palate adding authority, structure, length and refreshment to the aftertaste. Concentrated, superripe blackberry, cassis and mulberry flavours; oak tucked discreetly into the background. (98) HUON HOOKE, The Real Review

    Really delivers as you might expect from this excellent concentrated and powerfully frame vintage in Margaret River. It’s dominant cabernet with smaller portions of merlot, cabernet franc and malbec. Typical of this wine since switching to biodynamics, it is bright and brilliant with a nervy tense energy to drive the palate. The succulent fruit is harness by fine chalky tannins and neatly played oak of which 55% was new. A wine of extraordinary elegance and poise with a few of many decades. (98) RAY JORDAN

    Needless to say, Margaret River enjoyed another superb vintage with the 2022 season. Slightly cooler, Cullen report that it was a vintage of “immense perfume and texture”. The wine is a wonderfully vibrant purple in colour. The nose gives up plums, cassis, spices including nutmeg, chocolate, mocha, bay leaves, cigar box notes – think a freshly opened box of Cohiba Siglo VI – and near perfect oak integration. This is finely balanced and exhibiting immense length on a palate that sees the emergence of aniseed, mulberries and coffee beans. An alluringly supple texture with the silkiest of tannins, though plenty of them – there really is some grip here. This will easily sail through fifteen to twenty years in a good cellar.

  45. Vasse Felix DHJ1 Single Plot Chardonnay 2022
    Vasse Felix DHJ1 Single Plot Chardonnay 2022

    The most successful chardonnay cuvée from this producer, at least in this vintage. All Gingin clone, the regional stalwart. At times, straight renditions can be so intensely flavored that they are hard to drink. In this instance, however, there is ample pastry dough, peach and cream accents that serve to sublimate the sour acidity into a more integrated whole. The scintillating length is unimpeachable. This should age very well. Drinkable now, but best from 2027 NED GOODWIN MW, jamessuckling.com

    In all honesty, in pure drinking pleasure terms, I like this every bit as much as the Heytesbury. It’s so exotic, so cool, so (attractively) reductive, so thoroughly washed with nectarine and citrus, so wild with assorted floral characters. This is what single plot/vineyard/site wines are all about. It’s a quality wine but it’s also different, and that difference deserves to be showcased, and celebrated. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

    That's a wild wine! I opened that without really paying attention. Poured a glass. Had a sniff... yeah nice... had a chat to my wife for a few minutes before I picked the glass back up. No talking after that.
    Deep, there's a sweetness here (hold tight gang) that's reminiscent of biting in to a perfectly ripe nectarine, yeah, juicy almost in how primary that character feels. Shocking. Then it's an explosion from there. Powerhouse through and through. Concentrated, large in scale and dimension. Hugely intense but just skips feeling overwhelming, rather it's massive presence walks that tightrope of power and freshness that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
    Brilliantly fresh. Long. Satisfying and paradoxically uplifting, considering its heft, this is a Chardonnay Vasse should be proud of. I think it's this over the current Heytesbury for me. Give it time. Don't stress for 10-20 years. Brilliant.
    I don't know what to tell you here. I'm clearly a Vasse Chardonnay fan boy, but I'm still regularly surprised by how great these wines can be.
    This has everything for everyone. All the components needed for a great Chardonnay are wrapped up in this bottle, also the label is old school, bonus point for that. What crazy juice.
    Buy it to drink but if you have a cellar please buy it for that. As great, it really is, as it is today, this thing will blow your fedora off (hipsters... what is with those hats?) if given the time. ROSCOE
