Willow Bridge Estate

ElleD — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:15:53 +0000

Willow Bridge Estate is family owned and operated by principals Jeff and Vicki Dewar, who bought the picturesque 180-hectare hillside property in 1996. The estate is located in a hidden jewel of an area known as the Ferguson Valley; this incredibly picturesque area is just 20 minutes from the coastal city of Bunbury and around 2 hours south of Perth.

Willow Bridge Estate’s 60 Ha of vineyards were established in 1997. Initial plantings of the classic French varieties of Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, have since been bolstered with small blocks of exotic Viognier and Tempranillo.

The Dragonfly range of wines are contemporary, stylish and exude drinkability. Vibrant, rich and generous, these wines have developed a reputation for punching well above their weight in terms of value.

The Winemaker’s Range of wines show strong fruit definition in keeping with their origins. Their vineyards are selected for their ability to deliver characters typical to their varieties, but with that something extra which speaks of their unique terroir.

Try some of our award winning wines at our cellar door, open for tastings 7 days – 11am to 5pm.
