Our name 'House of Cards' was inspired by the gamble winemakers and growers take every vintage- you have to play the hand that you are dealt. All fruit used to make House of Cards wine comes from our ACO certified organic single vineyard situated on the iconic Caves Road at the northern end of the Margaret River Region in Western Australia.

Making handcrafted wines of exceptional quality is the sole priority of House of Cards.

Welcome to UMAMU Estate.

We create exquisite, handcrafted Australian wine from the Margaret River wine region. Each bottle is deliberately and meticulously created – from the delicate balance tasted within each glass, to the touches of family handwriting and messages on our labels.

Our philosophy has always been to give our Margaret River wine time to develop age in the bottle before release, a rarity in today’s online wine market.

Enjoying wines when they are ready to drink – rather than straight after bottling – is the reason our Margaret River wines have developed bags of character.

Passel Estate is a very small, family-owned vineyard in the heart of Margaret River, renowned for its award-winning single vineyard wines and commitment to sustainable winegrowing and nature conservation.  It is a place of Provenance, Discovery and Sanctuary.

The wines are a unique expression of the special place that is Passel Estate, defined by their perfumed fruit character, structure and balance. Passel Estate wines are a rare discovery; volumes made are small, given the quality-driven low yields and single vineyard focus.  Passel Estate’s range includes the very limited release Lot 71 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Lot 71 Reserve Syrah, made from select parcels of hand harvested fruit, with extended barrel maturation in the finest French oak.

Approximately 10ha of native bushland on the property is reserved for conservation. With the vineyard so close to native bush, it is necessary to net the vines (after veraison and through to harvest) so as to protect fruit from bird damage, as well as hungry kangaroos.  The name Passel Estate pays tribute to a family (or Passel) of endangered Western Ringtail Possums that was relocated to the property’s bushland sanctuary after being badly burned in the 2011 Margaret River bushfires. The owners continue to support and provide sanctuary to rare and threatened native fauna, which (in addition to the Western Ringtail Possum) includes Quendas, Phascogales and White and Red Tailed Black Cockatoos, and visitors can book a guided Nature & Wine Walk through the pristine bushland reserve adjacent to the Tasting Room.  

Passel Estate is a certified member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.

Howard Park is a pioneering family-owned winery specialising in the premier regions of Margaret River and the Great Southern - with an enduring passion and commitment to quality,  and a love for crafting wines that are expressive of their terroir.

Since 1986, the viticultural team has grown an intimate, exhaustive knowledge of vineyards in these areas, culminating in the careful acquisition and development of four properties: Leston and Allingham in Margaret River, and Mount Barrow and Abercrombie in the Great Southern. Each site has a unique focus and personality, but the overarching theme is control – tailoring each rootling or bud to suit, and keeping the fruit, the handling, and the expertise in-house.

Set on 138 hectares of vines and native bushland, less than 5 minutes from the town of Cowaramup, Leston is now home to all winery operations, including the architecturally-acclaimed cellar door where we welcome visitors and offer tastings of interest and depth that embrace Howard Park’s heritage and provenance: the vision of one family, two generations, two wine regions and four vineyards. Positioned on the highest point of our Leston vineyard, the award-winning structure adheres to Feng Shui design and orientation principles, with a careful balance of natural materials, including native timber, concrete and steel. In its design, the Burch family wanted to create a modern building designed to grow old – a concept synonymous with crafting age-worthy wines.

It is also home to Howard Park’s original rootling nursery, used by the viticultural team to diversify clones and varieties for future plantings, and to propagate from tried and true vine stock. The nursery currently produces up to 40,000 rootlings per year and is planted with Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir clones from Burgundy.

Peccavi Estate is a small boutique vineyard located in the ‘sweet spot’ sub-region of the Yallingup ridge in the north of the Margaret River region, WA. 

Peccavi is one of the very first vineyards in Australia to have the same new clones being used by the greatest Estates of Bordeaux. During the hot growing period, our viticulture practices encourage vine roots to drive deep, past loamy topsoils down to the sub-strata of ancient granite in search of nutrients and water. This process ultimately concentrates flavour in the fruit and adds natural mineral characters to our finished wines.

Our uncompromising approach to all aspects of wine-growing has earned Peccavi a high recognition for producing outstanding quality fruit. Our grapes are so desirable that several of Margaret River’s top producers purchase any surplus fruit that we don’t use for making our Estate wines.

Wines bearing the 'Peccavi' label are from 100% estate grown fruit, hand harvested, often in the cool of the night, from specific parcels within the blocks of vineyards, making the production of these wines limited by the individual vineyard sites. We hand sort to select only the best grapes to craft our award-winning Peccavi wines, applying traditional methods that are sustainable and using only the finest French oak.

Our 'No Regrets' range is also produced using 100% Peccavi estate grown fruit and is handcrafted to the same high standards.

Peccavi Estate is certified sustainable and is part of Sustainable Wine Growing Australia (SWA).

More than 20 years ago...
Ron Fraser, a wine retailer and lover of fine wines, set out to further explore his passion for exceptional wines while showcasing the beautiful region in which he lived, Margaret River, Western Australia. 

Margaret River was once a sleepy community of surfers and dairy farmers, however thanks to a group of trailblazing winemakers (many of whom had never made wine before!), the region built a global reputation for outstanding Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

After a long search for the perfect location, Ron finally found a vineyard he believed would produce the premium-quality grapes he needed to support his vision. Planting commenced in the newly established Atticus Wines in 1997.

After selling fruit to the local wineries for the first five vintages, Ron knew the vines were mature enough to produce high-quality fruit. Along with his winemaker, he set out to craft the unique wines that he felt the vineyard was capable of producing.

The land now occupied by Woody Nook Wines' single vineyard estate was formerly home to a sawmill and sleeper cutters. In 1978 Jeff and Wynn Gallagher purchased the property with a vineyard in mind and began the arduous task of clearing and preparing the land. The first cuttings were planted in 1982 and the first crush took place in 1987, the first winery building having been built the year before. The Gallaghers constructed this and their new home from timber and mud bricks, both materials being available on the property. There are still about 60 acres of jarrah and marri forest forming a magnificent backdrop to the winery and restaurant.
At the end of 1999 when Jeff and Wynn decided to retire to Busselton and put Woody Nook on the market, Peter and Jane Bailey became the proud new owners in May 2000. Jeff and Wynn's son Neil stayed on as Winemaker/Viticulturist until his retirement in 2020.  Jeff passed away peacefully in Busselton in March 2019 at the age of 89 followed by his wife Wynn in May 2021.
Although Peter and Jane had lived in WA for almost 20 years, at that time they were resident in the USA. Thanks to modern technology they were able to become deeply involved with the day to day running of the winery and were regular visitors (for extended periods in Jane’s case). In September 2007, after almost 15 years overseas, the Baileys returned to Western Australia permanently.
Woody Nook now has some 17 hectares of vines, half of which in the original vineyard are non-irrigated and handpicked and include Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Cabernet Franc. The new 8 hectare vineyard, planted with rootlings in 2007, produced its first sizeable vintage in 2010 with more of the same varietals but also two Spanish ones, tempranillo and graciano. These blocks will be irrigated until the vines reach greater maturity and are currently machine picked. From a 4-5,000 case production for the past ten years, this figure had almost doubled by 2012. However, with a 75-100 tonne crush, Woody Nook will still be well within the definition (250 tonnes) of a genuine boutique winery.
