Warner Glen Estate joins the Selador Wines Portfolio

Published: 05/05/2010

Selador Wines are thrilled to announce the addition of Warner Glen Estate, from Margaret River, Western Australia. After undertaking a trip to this region last year we have been keeping a close eye on wine coming from this region. Fast forward several months and we are finally adding this region to our portfolio.

Established in 1993, Warner Glen Estate sits on 100 hectares of pristine land abutting the Chapman Brook and National Park. The southern region of Margaret River consistently produces Australia’s best Chardonnay and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends and is considered by some to be the home of Cabernet Sauvignon. The business is family owned and operated, and all efforts are driven by ‘Three Pillars of Quality’: Quality Terroir; Quality Viticulture and Quality Winemaking.

The range of wine includes two labels:

WARNER GLEN ESTATE:

The focus is on producing a range of premium wines that excel in every way. Dry growing and yield reduction insures high fruit quality and intensity. The best rows and the best handpicked fruit are chosen by the team. Small batch production allows these wines to receive the best oak, blending and ageing regime. This results in wines that will excite consumers now and exceed expectations with cellaring.

FROG BELLY:

Inspired by the regions strengths, the Frog Belly range focus is on fruit and balance. The cool climate of the Southern Margaret River allows extended ripening periods producing beautifully balanced wines with succulent fruit flavours and approachable tannins. Why the frog? The endangered White Bellied Frog inhabits the creek lines of the vineyard and so 10% of the Estate is reserved as a sanctuary to help preserve this critically endangered species.
