Region

Margaret River

Our home. Girt by sea and rolling hills, Margeret River drew us across the land in search of wines with purity of fruit character, elegance and substance. A stunningly diverse region, we chose the central Wilyabrup district for our vineyard as it is here that the most complex yet balanced wines are produced. Our vines stand proudly nestled amongst some of the biggest names in wine, producing stunning fruit for the Stonefish Varietal series wines. We can’t wait to see you at the Stonefish Margaret River Cellar Door soon.

History

The Margaret River is a wine region in the southwest corner of Western Australia, known to the locals as ‘The Cape Region’. Its vineyards produce internationally acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignons, Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs and other varietals. While the region produces less than 3 percent of Australia’s wine, it accounts for more than a fifth of its premium wine.

The Margaret River was scientifically identified by Dr John Gladstone (UCLA) in 1969 as being the most perfect area in the world to grow premium wine grapes. The first plantings were established in 1967/68 and now accounts for 1.5% of the national production and 23% of Australia’s premium bottled wine market in sale.

Yielding

The region is very low yielding and the vintage each year will vary between 2 and a half tonnes to the acre and 4 tonnes depending on variety and fruit requirements.

Fruit costs in the region are significantly higher than in other parts of Australia due to low yielding vines.

Flavour concentration is distinctly evident when tasting wines from the region.

“Delightfully fruited and elegantly expressed, the wine shows apricot, lemon peel, subtle vanilla, cashew, and oatmeal notes on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and fine flow, beautifully supported by creamy texture and bright acidity, finishing persistent and refined. At its best: now to 2034.”

Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot

✪ 2024 Single Vineyard Chardonnay – 92 Points
“Bargain priced Marg River Chardy is not to be dismissed easily. One may wonder why the marketing team chose one of the ugliest animals on the planet as the name for this range (a question above my paygrade), but I will say, as someone who as a kid wanted to be a marine biologist and spent a squillion hours in aquariums and the ocean, next time you get the chance, look deeply into the eyes of a stonefish. I kid you not, the very definition of inner beauty. They truly have extraordinary eyes. And there is plenty of inner beauty in this delicious Chardy, from vines which are 24 years of age.
“A gleaming pale gold colour here, the nose is very much from the tropical side of town – we have notes of passionfruit, banana and pineapples – along with florals, a touch of ginger and a hint of orange blossom. The wine is delightfully fresh with bright acidity. A juicy style with excellent length. Quite delicious now and will surely remain so for at least four years.”
