Margaret River - Wine Paradise

Margaret River Wine Region stretches 100 kilometres from north to south, 26km east to west and is surrounded by ocean on three sides. Remnant forest covers 46% of the region, 3% is viticultural land.
The Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge connects Cape Naturaliste (north) and Cape Leeuwin (south).
The granite gneiss rocks are 1,130-1,600 million years old, likely the oldest viticultural lands on earth. Two-thirds of Margaret River's vineyards are located here.
The soils are primarily well-drained, ironstone gravel loams over clay, locally named 'Forest Grove'. These ancient soils are low in nutrients, resulting in low vigour in the vineyard, ideal for growing the finest quality elegant and powerful grapes.
Unique to Margaret River is a system of natural sea breezes and currents that it receives from the Indian and Southern Oceans. These help moderate the variance between seasonal temperatures, reducing extreme cold and heat within the vineyards.
Nurturing our environment and the close-knit community in which we live is fundamental to achieving the long term aspirations we have for Vasse Felix to be thriving, in one of the world's great wine regions, 100 years from now, and beyond.Read more
