Western Range Wines

- Nestled in the Lower Chittering Valley, the gently rolling hills form a tranquil backdrop to the myriad of orchards, farms and vineyards that dot the hillsides.
- Situated up to 300 meters above sea level, the climate and soils of the Chittering Valley are quite different to those of nearby viticulture regions. The climate is typically Mediterranean with cold, wet winters and warm, dry summers.
- Situated on undulating terrain, the vineyards are located 300m above sea level.
- The properties are positioned within the Chittering Metamorphic Belt, which is 2.6-3.3 billion years old (some of the oldest soils in the world). Five broad soil types have been identified within the vineyards with the two major types being shallow duplex or gradational soils overlying weathered quartz-mica schist or gneiss rock and gravely loam over clay soils. Alluvial sediments border the Brockman River.
- All vines are in excess of twenty years of age and the varieties that have been planted include: Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Viognier (first vineyard in WA to plant the variety in 1990).
- First production in 2001 produces medal-winning wines. From there, the Branded Wines have flourished winning very many trophies, and medals over the past 10 years.
- Situated within the Perth Hills appellation and currently have approximately 125 acres under vine, most of which are aged between 20-70 years old.
- Currently crushing between 500 and 750 tones per year, the winery was designed and built with expansion in mind with sufficient room and infrastructure to allow the crush size to increase to 2,000 tones per year.
