Description
Nestled amongst the glorious rolling hills of Donnybrook, is the
hidden gem of Coughlan Estate - home to some of the oldest vines
in the region.
Classified as an official Australian appellation in 1999, Geographe GI is a young and vibrant region ideally suited to grape growing. Only 90 minutes from Perth, with over 30 boutique wineries, world-class food and beautiful vistas around every bend in the road, it is emerging as one of the most exciting wine regions in Australia.
Coughlan Estate planted back in 1978, and spread over six acres, the vineyard includes Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Semillon, as well as an extremely welcoming cellar door overlooking the vines. Focussing on traditional viticultural practices, everything is handpicked at vintage, and the vines are carefully hand-pruned and tended throughout the year. With a higher proportion of cooler nights, and a sharp eye for detail in the vineyard, the fruit produced is of exceptional quality.
The wines themselves are crafted by the ever-talented Bruce Dukes & Remi Guise - their skill, combined with premium grapes, forms a special bond in the bottle, and produces the award-winning wines that are Coughlan Estate.
Cellar door open at weekends. Book ahead to secure a table.
