Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were grafted onto shiraz vines in the early 1980s and today produce the distinctive fruit. Wallcliffe is a wine that creates itself in the vineyard. Plainly fermenting the different plots individually in French oak barriques helps to build and define individual characters. A selection of the best barrels are then blended to make a wine which best reflects the characters of the season and the vineyard.

The fresh citrus fruit characters of the nose transfer seamlessly to the palate, with some white fleshed nectarine and subtle smoke characters also evident.

Originally a coach inn for travellers on the three day journey between Perth and Margaret River, Cape Naturaliste also served as a destination for whale ships taking on supplies of vegetable grown to the valley's rich alluvial soil. A holistic, bio-dynamic philosophy, practised amongst the vines at Cape Naturaliste, yields harvests of grapes which are as natural as those picked off vineyards long ago. A brisk fermentation achieves the clean, fresh palate for which this style is so renowned.

Sea based fertilisers and a fish head soup are employed to increase the micro- biologic life of soils. Norwegian Kelp is used as a foliant spray and has an immediate effect on the health of plants, contributing to evenness of fruit set. Pruning techniques, cropping levels, canopy treatment and restricted intrusion from vehicles, are just some of the measures taken to ensure that this unique vineyard produces the cleanest and healthiest fruit in Margaret River. Parcels of Semillon grown to rich alluvial flats are vinified alongside Sauvignon Blanc planted to sandy loam over limestone, alluvial flats and quartz gravels, to be bottled promptly upon completion.
