Well fingers crossed, but so far we have had the perfect season. We had quite a wet spring (September) and the weather over the last 2 months has been dry and hot and only 4 mils of rain for the month of December. The vines are absolutely loving it and flowering went through quickly in December, ensuring even fruit and bunches, which are now looking extremely healthy and vibrant. We have been shoot thinning, wire lifting and trimming on the vineyard and have been applying some wonderful organic seaweed, fish teas and compost to feed the microbes in the soil, keeping it well balanced and healthy and in turn feeding the vines.

Surprisingly it is not that often that a winery gets the whole package right, and by that I mean vineyard location, choice of varieties, viticulture, vinification and marketing but SOUMAH has. Despite only being on the market for the past 16 months, this winery has had people talking about their wines since day one.

To cap off a remarkable year including numerous Gold Medals and 3 Prestigious Trophy wins, Warner Glen Estate are pleased to announce the West Australian Wine Industry Association (WAWIA) 2011 Winemaker of the year – their Senior Winemaker Bruce Dukes."Congratulations to Bruce, a very well deserved and hard earned award for a sensational winemaker and great guy." Travis French

A sensational result at the Sydney International Wine Show which is internationally regarded and unique in judging wine with food.

The “PBF” SBS (Partial Barrel Ferment in premium French Oak Barriques) has been recognised and awarded with Blue Gold’s at consecutive shows. This wine takes Margaret River “SBS” to another level providing a balanced fruit driven wine that also has depth and complexity, a great match with just about any food and a must for any serious wine list.

Warner Glen Estate with their Frog Belly label, are on a roll I am sure they hope continues. In less than 12 months they have picked up three trophies for the following wines:

• Winner Trophy: SIWC Perpetual Trophy Best Dry Rose, 2011 Sydney International Wine show
• Winner Trophy: Best Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, Winewise 2011
• Winner Trophy: JS Gladstones Trophy, Qantas Wine Show of WA 2011 Awarded for the Wine of Best and Most Distinctive Regional Character, Semillon 2010

We are expanding our client base and are delighted to add a few new venues outside Melbourne, even as far as Perth. Please see below for where you can purchase retail or drop in for a glass of wine.
