Merrebee Estate

The Merrebee Estate vineyard and wine label has been owned and operated by the current owner since 1994. However, the original vineyard was planted by a previous owner in 1985.

Mount Barker is a registered sub region of the wine producing district of the Great Southern region of Western Australia and is the coolest wine producing area of WA. Mount Barker is situated 350 kms south east of Perth and 50 kms inland from Albany on the south coast of WA.

The mean temperatures during the ripening months are just marginally lower than in the Medoc and much lower than in the warmer Bordeaux appellations such as Pomerol and Saint Emilion.

The area consistently produces some of Australia’s best dry Rieslings. The moderate ripening temperatures result in wines of classic Australian Riesling style with fresh acidity. Chardonnay, likewise tends towards the initially lean European style, rather than towards the immediately full-fruited style of Chardonnays of Australia’s warmer viticultural regions.
