Juniper

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc, petit verdot and merlot. It’s a medium bodied product of this cooler vintage, yet there is an intensity and concentration of fruit that presents beautifully from the nose though to the balanced palate. Bright red and black fruits with a delightful perfume open on the nose. The palate is an intricate weave...

Margaret River

Red Blend

The rich opulence of the 2022 vintage is clearly evident in this classic Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot, and malbec. Displays bright red intense fruit on the nose with a blackberry-blackcurrant combination, and then the palate, which is soft, supple, but still with a firm, fine thread for structure. It's one of the better examples...

Margaret River

Fiano

Juniper has been championing this variety most famous for the wines it produces in Southern Italy and Sicily in particular. Has a creamy, nutty, and slightly citrusy character with a complex lift of lemon rind. It's textured with a crisp acidity providing precision and direction through to the finish.

Fiano

Juniper has been making excellent fiano for a number of years now, and this one, from what was an excellent vintage, is as good as any. The aromas display that slightly lemony citrus character with some subtle nuttiness, and then the palate is textured with a creaminess that is balanced by an edgy citrus crisp acid. It really is a...

Chardonnay

This comes from a vineyard planted down south at Karridale in 1997. The cooler climate vineyard has been further influenced by the cooler vintage. It's the result of best barrel selection. The nose of lemon rind and grapefruit with a subtle almond mealiness is appealing. The palate combines texture with a defined linear feel, accentuated by a chalky acidity and...

Chardonnay

A product of a warm vintage, but the advantage is that the fruit comes from further south in the cooler climes of Karridale. It’s a barrel selection wine after wild yeast fermentation and ageing in oak for 10 months.

Cabernet Sauvignon

The vineyard planted in 1973 is one of the oldest in Margaret River. It's a wine that makes a serious statement about Wilyabrup and old vines. It was a great year, and this is reflected win the powerful combination of concentrated blackcurrant and dark chocolate fruit dominating the palate. The nose shows more minerally oyster shell and subtle graphite. A...

Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine comes from one of the earliest plantings in Margaret River. The Wilyabrup site was planted way back in 1973 and has been maintained as unirrigated before progressing to sustainable organic farming. This is one of the more elegant examples of this wine and an impressive follow-up to the 2018. The bay leaf and blackcurrant combination on the nose,...

Chardonnay

The delicacy, fragrance and purity of this great vintage are capture exquisitely in this outstanding chardonnay. Follows a similar pat to the Karridale in that it is hand-picked, wild yeast fermented and matured for 10 months in oak before the best barrels are chosen. Fragrant lightly floral notes on the nose. The palate really is impressive with a lightly toasty...

Chardonnay

This has established itself right in the top tier of Margaret River Chardonnay since it was introduced a few years ago. It was hand-picked and then wild yeast fermented before spending about 10 months in French oak. There is the immense and intense power that is Wilyabrup Chardonnay, a mix of quince paste, citrus, and grapefruit on the nose with...

Margaret River

Red Blend

Made as a ready to drink red wine. It's a cabernet dominant blend with the firm varietal core driving the structure of a pleasing and flavoursome red. It's medium bodied with a dark fruit combination displaying a little bay leaf and black olive,

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful and intense cabernet sourced from original dry-grown vines that are now more than 50 years old. Concentrated notes of leafy blackcurrant and a chocolate and bay leaf addition. Seamlessly and smoothly textured palate with a minerally seashell thread revealing a touch of graphite. This is a mighty good wine for the price. So bright and alive.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

An attractive light-bodied chardonnay. It is predominantly from the Gingin clone and off the southern Karridale vineyard. For a wine of this price a fair amount of winemaking involvement has delivered a classy little wine. Lemon vanillin characters emerge with a slightly saline minerality to finish.
