This famous, family-owned estate was established in 1948 by Paul Conti’s Sicilian father. As one of Perth’s pioneering vignerons, Paul has since passed the winemaking baton on to the third generation in son Jason, who has been making the wines for more than 30 years. The estate-grown vineyards are on tuart soils along Perth’s northern coastal strip, along with another vineyard in Cowaramup. Given the Sicilian heritage it’s not surprising they have released a nero d’avola, the famous variety of Sicily.
