By employing a fine balance of contemporary and traditionalist winemaking techniques, Amberley Estate has remained true to it's original aim of making wines solely from fruit grown to the Margaret River. A selection of cultured yeasts and the use of clean tank fermentations produces a soft yet complex, elegant fruit driven Chenin Blanc designed to complement today’s eclectic cuisines. After crushing, the grapes are pressed, the juices are inoculated and vinified. In order to enhance the varietal aromas, the juice is fermented in tanks under strict temperature control 12°C to 15°C. The emphasis at all stages of handling is to preserve the inherent aromas and flavours of fine Chenin Blanc

A bright, light straw colour. Varietal characters are prominent on the bouquet, aromas reminiscent of fresh fruit salad comprised of red apples, pineapple, and tropical Asian fruits. Rich, soft, pretty bergamot flowers. Lovely balanced bright nose with a carry through of melon and then a hint of sweetness. Red apple, lychee and light herbal flavours continue on the palate balanced by the zesty acidity. Really lovely fruit. A soft and flavoursome wine with a gentle lingering finish. A very exciting rendering of Chenin Blanc that would find a match with many cuisines, the slight sweetness goes well with spicier dishes such as a caraway saffron gnocchi or chermoula prawns and Thai vegetables

The beautiful Amberley property is considered to be one of the finest in the Margaret River region

Established in 1986, Amberley Estate has remained true to it's original philosophy of making premium wines from fruit grown exclusively in the Margaret River region. Such a promise has ensured Amberley Estate wines capture the richness and character of this world-class appellation. Amberley Estate's flagship property covers a total area of 67 hectares with 31.48 hectares under vine. It was primarily the subject of a detailed soil, climactic and aspect analysis before the original owners decided to establish a vineyard.

Several criteria had to be met - the total property needed to comprise of at least 70 hectares of untouched natural landscape in order that 40 hectares could be cleared and pastured. The ideal soil requirement was deep red gravelly loam with an abundance of Jarrah and Marri (Red Gum) Trees in existence. Easterly slopes to protect the vines from westerly gales and adequate, good quality water on site were a necessity. The current site satisfied these criteria and the first vines were planted in 1986.


One can catch glimpses of the blue waters of Geographe Bay through the valley which runs through the centre of the property and is protected from westerly winds by towering Jarrah and Marri Trees and steep slopes. These winds in particular can devastate setting fruit in the spring, making vine protection a necessity. Other favourable features of nearby Geographe Bay are the moderating & cooling influence it has on the hot easterly winds which blow during the height of summer and which have the potential to damage and burn the vine canopy and fruit. "My vineyard philosophy is based on sourcing high quality fruit to produce the styles and quality that Amberley is renowned for!" Phil Smith Viticulturist, Amberley Estate Easterly and north easterly facing slopes on the property enable vines to capture maximum morning sunlight when they're most active and minimise heat stress from the afternoon sun. Phil Smith is responsible for overseeing the overall operation of the Amberley Estate vineyards, as well as the provision of grower liaison services to over twenty contracted growers in the area, negotiating their contracts and sourcing all fruit required for the company. His vineyard philosophy is based on a belief that fruit and wine quality can only be achieved through well-balanced vines from a uniform vineyard. Through effective management of shoot growth and cropping levels as well as effective management of pruning, one can create vines with a balanced ratio of pruning weight to fruit weight. Such balanced vines and uniform vineyards lead to high quality fruit being delivered to the winery.	Amberley Estate's wines are a total representation the region, and a blend of old and new winemaking techniques. The varieties planted at the vineyard are considered the best performing and most popular varieties from the region. An additional vineyard, Yallingup Estate, is managed by Amberley Estate. Yallingup Estate has 11 hectares planted and is located off Abbey Farm Road near Amberley.
Amberley is the largest Margaret River winery to use only fruit from the appellation Fruit is sourced from 20 contract growers located throughout the Margaret River region. They are situated between Cowaramup and Marybrook in the north of the Margaret River appellation and occasionally as far south as Witchcliffe.
