We create exquisite, handcrafted Australian wine from our family vineyard in the Margaret River wine region with plantings dating back to 1978. 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.

This wine is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon parcels planted in 1978 and 1982. Alongside our Shiraz vines planted back in 1978, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the oldest parcels on our family vineyard just 10km east of the actual Margaret River in Western Australia.

We are honoured to offer you this Margaret River MacAnn Cabernets, named after our founders Mac & Ann and inspired by Aunty May of ex Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux. Aunty May is why we planted the varieties to produce this blend in 1997. The blend comprises Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Click here to read more about our story with Aunty May. The fermentation was in a combination of open and closed static tanks and was completed in the tank before being pressed off skins at dryness after 12-18 days of skin contact. The wine was then matured for 18 months in about one third new French oak from the forests of Allier and the centre of France. Cheers!

It is a real privilege to offer you our Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc. My mother's favourite wine (until UMAMU Estate of course!) was a Pavillon Blanc from Chateau Margaux in Bordeaux. So when we started making our own wine in the Margaret River, Western Australia, we just had to produce our own Sauvignon Blanc to emulate it.

Our Sauvignon Blanc parcel was planted in 1987, while our Semillon parcel was planted in 1997. Both vine canopies are well managed in order to improve light interception and hence development of flavours during ripening, while reducing any microclimate humidity. The Sauvignon Blanc parcel is located at 130 metres above sea level – one of the highest in the Margaret River wine region.

It was a Chardonnay from the Margaret River that brought my parents to fall in love with this stunning wine region in Western Australia back in the 1980s, and our own vineyard in the late 90s.
