Margaret River

Margaret River is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most reliable fine-wine regions, producing a small volume of wine with a disproportionate number of top-rated releases. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay define the region, consistently setting national benchmarks for both varieties. Margaret River Cabernet is recognised for its balance, structure and longevity, while Chardonnay from the region is noted for precision, restraint and natural acidity rather than overt richness.

The region’s track record is supported by results. Margaret River has been repeatedly named Halliday Wine Companion Wine Region of the Year, and its leading producers regularly feature among Australia’s most awarded wineries. James Halliday has described Margaret River Cabernet as being “on a par with the best in the world,” while Decanter has highlighted the region’s rare ability to deliver quality and consistency across producers and vintages.
