OUR LOCATION
(Cnr Abbey Farm Rd & Brash Rd Yallingup, Western Australia - Northern Margaret River)
The Haunold Family vineyards unique margaret river wine region location is its greatest asset. Its relative proximity to the Indian Ocean, Geographe Bay and the Geographe Air drainage plateau have created ideal conditions for vine development.
Such strong maritime influences effectively moderate temperatures. Complimented by unique topographical influences, we are less prone to the negative effects of summer rainfall and our more northern position allows for greater sunlight hours.
Consistent, well drained gravely loams, create a soil composition of comparable excellence.
These factors are crucial in flavour development and we believe our relative location is ideal in producing wines with elegance and finesse, whilst maintaining strong varietal definition.
Vineyard Composition
Our unique farming approach attends to all needs of the vine so we are
able to express the most admirable aspects of their personality.
By achieving a balanced and healthy environment for our vines to grow,
we are assured of clean, beautifully structured wines that have a deep
aromatic complexity, with a palate that is long and satisfying.
The fruit for our wines is strictly grown from the Estate and consists
of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon.
Blending varieties, namely Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot
and Viognier compliment our major plantings by adding a further depth
and complexity to the main varietal wines.
