Domaine Naturaliste wines mirror the excitement of the discovery of our Margaret River region. The wheel emblem embraces direction, stability and balance. Qualities which we find admirable in life and wine. The Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge is the uplifted coastal ridge where Margaret River’s vines grow. This area is home for Bruce, his wife Wendy and sons Oscar and Tim. It is our viticultural Domaine.
The Margaret River Wine Region is cradled to the west and north by the Indian Ocean, and to the south by the Great Southern Ocean. The large mass of ocean surrounding the region contributes to a maritime climate, of cool wet winters and warm dry summers. Winter rains swept in from the Great Southern Ocean provide plentiful and pure water, while the warm dry Indian summers provide low disease pressures and idyllic growing
conditions.
