Description:

We started searching for just the right site to plant a vineyard in 2002, and eventually found our property at Chapman Hill in 2003. Our Whicher Ridge brand ideas crystallised into a plan to build up a range of six regional wines over the next few years. After much research (involving wine tasting of course!), in 2004 and 2005 we planted three of Bordeaux's great varieties, sauvignon blanc, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon, as well as a lesser known Rhone variety, viognier on our farm. We decided that our Whicher Ridge shiraz and riesling would come from the Frankland River region, and that we would also make a Margaret River Chardonnay. After searching for just the right vineyards for each of these varieties, we made our first Riesling and Shiraz in 2009, and the first release of our Chardonnay is the 2012.
