There are so many unique and incredible ways to enjoy Margaret River wines when in the region. We chatted with Leah Clearwater, owner of the recently launched Margaret River Wine Academy, which offers awesome, 2 to 3 hour interactive courses for wine enthusiasts to industry professionals. Leah has a PhD in Viticulture and Oenology, is a published author and has worked across the wine industry in viticulture, marketing and education roles for more than 28 years, making her one of the most engaging and knowledgable wine communicators in the region.

What is your favourite experience on offer this Autumn / Winter?

The Margaret River Wine Basics course is something I’m sure I’ll enjoy presenting year-round. In this, we highlight the regional narrative alongside seasonal activities in the vineyards and wineries. As we head into the cooler months, I’m looking forward to providing a deep-dive into the region’s hero red variety with the Cabernet – King of Cultivars course. Cabernet is by far my favourite wine and the reason I moved to Margaret River 18 years ago. Our region produces a style that stands apart from any others internationally and I’ll never tire of exploring the reasons behind this.

Who is this experience for, and what should they expect from participating in it?

The academy courses are designed to be suitable for wine enthusiasts to industry professionals. Although they cover quite technical topics, I quickly get a sense of the group I’m teaching and can tailor the content to meet people where they’re at in their wine education journey.

What is the most special aspect of the experience?

In every course I’ve delivered so far, I’ve been delighted to witness the awe and appreciation people have when learning about this special region. Whether you’ve lived here for years or are just visiting, Margaret River’s unique attributes are so compelling that it is impossible not to feel inspired. People also love the wine tasting at the end. This is when they get to connect the science, the story, and the final product in the glass.

What do you love most about living and working in Margaret River?

I fell in love with Margaret River the first time I drove down Caves Road and saw the winery signs of all the brands I’d adored in the glass over the years. I can honestly say that this feeling has never left me. Sometimes I need to be reminded of how lucky I am to live and work here, but it doesn’t take much. Just talking to a visitor to the region reignites my passion. It’s a place that ticks all my boxes; amazing coastline, incredible friends, a wonderful winemaking community and the availability of bloody good wine all the time!

What is your favourite thing about sharing Margaret River wine with people?

What I enjoy is helping people discover what they love about our wines without being overly prescriptive about it. I never bombard people with tasting notes unless they ask for them. I’d prefer to guide wine tastings in such a way that intuition takes precedence over information. The technical data is always there, but the experience of the wine is always more memory-making.

“I’ve worked all over the world and this would be one of easiest places to make great wines,” says Cath Oates, of Oates Ends about the Margaret River Wine Region.

Oates Ends is a small family-run winery, with Cath working as winemaker, and her brother, Russ running the vineyard. The winery signifies homecoming and family to Cath.

“The wines are made from a family vineyard that my father planted 25 years ago, and my brother now owns,” Cath says.

“I was born and grew up in Margaret River, but worked all over the world – in New Zealand, the United States of America and Italy. I have only been back for the last eight years. The wines are the culmination of all that experience, plus a lifelong love of my hometown.”

Sustainability is held in high regard by Cath and her family, and a cause they have championed for decades. The winery is a Certified Member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, reinforcing this commitment.

 

Oates Ends focuses making Margaret River’s famous wine varieties; Chardonnay and Chardonnay, as well a compelling Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend called ‘The GWB’, which is named in memory of an unfortunate encounter Cath had with a white shark before vintage 2021, and the support she received from the Margaret River wine community.

In addition, a Tempranillo Rose, Tempranillo form part of the wine range.

As for Cath’s favourite grape to work with, Chardonnay takes the prize.

“Chardonnay as this is the wine I like drinking the most, plus it’s the most challenging to make as it has a lot of winemaker influence. You really have to know what you’re trying to do, or it will show up your mistakes.”

“My husband, Barry, is from the Cape Winelands of South Africa, and together we have always loved wine and, while working as lawyers internationally, dreamt of one day doing something in the wine industry,” says Wendy Stimpson of Passel Estate.

“Many years ago, we visited Margaret River and fell in love with the beautiful natural landscape and stunning wines of the region. We subsequently completed studies in viticulture and viniculture, and then, having already made Margaret River our home, we discovered and purchased the property which allowed us to create Passel Estate.”

“From there, we followed our dreams…”

From vines first planted in 1994, Passel Estate, a relatively young producer, is making single vineyard and single varietal wines that have been making a splash in local and national wine shows of recent years. They are focused on classic Margaret River wine styles, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and have recently launched a traditional method sparkling Chenin Blanc.

The natural charm of their wines is accentuated at their property, which is home to a wildlife sanctuary.

“The natural bushland reserve on the property, comprises some of the oldest peppermint trees in the region (as well as Jarrah, Marri and Xanthorrhoea -grass- trees),” Wendy explains.

“A family (or Passel) of endangered Western Ringtail Possums was relocated here following the 2011 Margaret River bushfires, and the owners continue to support and provide sanctuary to endangered native species within the estate.”

It’s a truly special to experience this via their Nature and Wine Walk tour. The tasting room itself offers deluxe wine and cheese or wine and chocolate paired tastings, and Passel Estate was recognised in the 2020 Gourmet Traveller Wine Best Cellar Door Awards as ‘Margaret River’s Best Tasting Experience.’

If you get a chance to try the Lot 71 Reserve wines at Passel Estate, make sure you take it, particularly their Syrah.

“The grape I get most excited by is the Syrah. It requires so much dedication in the vineyard, to carefully manage the canopy through the growing season so that the berries receive generous morning sunlight yet are protected from the stronger afternoon rays to ensure consistent and perfectly ripe bunches – berries, stems, stalks all – which we then hand-pick for the partial whole cluster fermentation to produce our stunning Lot 71 Reserve Syrah,” Wendy says.

The magic of Margaret River’s harvest was celebrated last week with a vibrant fusion of cultures at the third—and most extraordinary—Vintage Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony on Wadandi Boodja (Saltwater Country).

Local custodians Dr Wayne Webb, Iszaac Webb, and their family led a Welcome to Country for hundreds of Margaret River locals and travelling wine workers, followed by a traditional smoking ceremony. This sacred ritual cleanses the spirit, body, and soul, marking the beginning of something new—a meaningful welcome for seasonal workers and the start of Margaret River’s 2025 vintage.

Introduced by acclaimed actor Myles Pollard, the evening was further enlivened by the energetic songs and dances of visiting workers from Timor Leste, Fiji, and Tonga, adding a powerful cultural dimension to the event.

“This event has grown into something truly special for our community,” said Amanda Whiteland, CEO of the Margaret River Wine Association. “The Vintage Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony not only acknowledges the deep connection to Wadandi Boodja but also celebrates the incredible diversity of the people who contribute to our region’s world-class wine industry. I thank our event partners—the Shire of Augusta Margaret River, TeamsWork, and the Undalup Association—for making this special community gathering possible.”

Reflecting on the event, Shire of Augusta Margaret River Chief Executive Officer Andrea Selvey said, “This event was an uplifting and unique celebration of our diverse community. The Shire of Augusta Margaret River is thrilled to be able to support the event, and it was a privilege to share in the celebrations. Congratulations and thanks to the Margaret River Wine Association.”

“TeamsWork is very proud to be associated with this life-affirming event,” said David Cooper, Managing Director of TeamsWork. “This celebration provides a unique opportunity for PALM workers from Timor-Leste, Fiji, and Tonga to share their vibrant cultures with the local community. Year after year, these hardworking teams make an invaluable contribution to the Margaret River wine industry, and this event beautifully showcased the deep connections they have forged within our region. Congratulations to the incredible MRWA team for their dedication in bringing this event to life.”

Saturday 14 December, 3pm to 5.30pm

“It’s more than likely you will meet the owner or winemaker at the cellar door,” says Conrad Tritt, Winemaker of pint-sized single vineyard producer, Cape Grace Wines.

The 5.3 hectare vineyard was planted in 1996 by Robert and Karen Karri-Davies, who still own it today. Their family have been in the Margaret River Region since 1875.

“The wines show true terroir from a vineyard nestled amongst the forest,” Conrad says of their handcrafted drops.

“I have never worked [in a wine region], that year after year, makes such consistently high-quality wines, especially Chardonnay. Even late ripening Cabernet is incredibly consistent here. The vintages that we may see as tricky are still very good compared to most regions. We are very lucky to work in such a pristine environment with great growing conditions.”

Conrad hails from New Zealand. He came to Margaret River in 2007 for a three-month vintage position and ended up staying. He was particularly motivated by the opportunity to work in a hands-on role with a boutique winery. At Cape Grace wines he is responsible for all aspects of production from the vineyard to the winery, to the bottle.

“This gives me an intimate knowledge of the vineyard and fruit to best express this vineyard site in the wines.”

He says the lifestyle of Margaret River is also a major attraction.

“As a keen surfer there aren’t many places where the wine is great and the surf amazing Margaret River ticks all the boxes.”

As for his favourite variety, Conrad says Chardonnay takes the prize.

“Having such intensely flavoured Chardonnay leads to an array of different styles that can be created from wild fermentation to high solid and generous amounts of oak. Even with all these external factors the fruit still shines through making some of the best Chardonnays in the world.”

Cape Grace Wines also make a selection of classical Margaret River styles, including four different expressions of Chenin Blanc, and a Shiraz that is made with a Beaujolais approach, and can be chilled over the summer. All red wines are hand plunged, and basket pressed, like the region’s faithful red, Cabernet Sauvignon.

“With a lot of alternative varieties taking centre stage and new wave “funky” wines becoming more available sometimes we forget how unique and great Cabernet Sauvignon is in the region, so pour yourself a glass of Margaret Rivers finest red,” he exclaims.

The quaint Cape Grace Wines cellar door is located in Wilyabrup and opens daily, 10am to 5pm.

    Join us for a special Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony led by the Undalup Association to celebrate the start of Vintage 2025 on Wadandi Boodja (Saltwater Country).

    The traditional smoking ceremony cleanses and purifies the spirit, body and soul while marking the beginning of something new. It’s a meaningful way to honour the season and an exciting time for the Margaret River wine industry as seasonal workers arrive, and preparations for the harvest begin.

    The event, now in its third year of growth and celebration, will be introduced by Myles Pollard, an accomplished actor, writer, director, and producer with more than two decades of experience in Australian film and television.

    The evening will feature live music by local musician Dan White, as well as traditional dance and song by visiting workers from Timor Leste, Fiji and Tonga.

    International workers are encouraged to bring a flag or wear a traditional clothing from their home country to showcase the rich multicultural spirit of the vintage workforce in the Margaret River Wine Region.
