The Region
Margaret River in Western Australia has a stunning coastline and world-class wineries. It is synonymous with a new era in Australian wine, with its Mediterranean climate and soil being comparable to that of Burgundy.
The region runs along the coast from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin in the south. The Margaret River flows east to west through its centre and the Blackwood River flows southwest to Augusta. The region features a ridge running from cape to cape. The land is undulating, and the soils are gravelly sandy loams. The climate is warm maritime with cooling breezes (and sometimes strong winds) off the Indian Ocean. Most rain falls in autumn and winter.
