Mountford Wines & Tangletoe Ciders

Hip camp, the real reason we booked this place was because of the cider tastings , i’d been searching for a really good cider and boy did I find a couple.

We had the field to ourselves most of the time so Billy got to run whenever he wanted. Surround by towering Karri trees.
We arranged for the wine/cider tastings towards the end of our stay.
Paul went for an afternoon jog to express the sense of freedom after too many wine tastings and to wear off the cheese tastings.

Mountford Wines is one of the oldest wineries in Pemberton and Tangletoe was the first cidery in Western Australia. In 1987, husband and wife duo Andrew and Sue Mountford established the six-hectare piece of land with one mission - to handcraft deliciously complex organic products that combine wine science with sustainable living.

After three years of extensive research to analyse the soil, rainfall and grapes, the cellar door was lovingly crafted by hand using the raw materials found onsite. Mountford Wines is one of the few wineries in the region that use natural techniques with carbon-positive, sustainable production and certified organic wines and cider.

The Mountford Wines and Tangletoe Cidery difference:

Low yields enhance the flavours of the grapes by allowing them to fully develop
Dry grown grapes vs irrigation, which produce smaller crops and high-intensity fruit flavours recognisable in our products
Natural pest/weed control and fertiliser from our vineyard chickens who are free to roamLæs mere
