Man is merely nature’s tool. And while nature needs good tools - any great wine - as our own Courtney Treacher says - is hers; never who signs the back label.
This philosophy led us in 1983 to a special part of Margaret River. A valley through which the Wilyabrup Brook runs.
Here existed an essential requirement. One that gives viticulturalist – Steve Kirby – goosebumps: Granite-rich soil.
Held together by organic matter courtesy of the long cultivation on one of the oldest parcels of farmed land
in this famed region.What Margaret River is to the wine world, this valley would be to Margaret River.
North-east facing, wind-shielded, and with a microclimate kind to vines and all the juice they bear,
the place promised a lot.
Two decades later it was delivering.
It’s interesting how the might of the Indian Ocean, with her cooling sea breezes, works together with a babbling brook called Wilyabrup to give Brookland Valley its singular terroir.
Interesting that a ‘minimal interference’ winemaker is behind a winery of such big influence.
