The Swan Valley is the oldest wine region in Western Australia and the second oldest region in Australia. With the first vines planted in 1829 and the first commercial wine vintage beginning in 1834, it's no surprise the fruit produced here has a depth and flavour that produces such premium quality wines.
The signature grape varieties in the Swan Valley are Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Shiraz, which thrive in the region’s Mediterranean-style climate.
