Mandalay Road Estate
|
Bernice and Tony O’Connell planted their Geographe vineyard in 1997 on a hilly, picturesque 40 hectare property which, in a previous life, had been a blue gum plantation. They envisaged a quiet, idyllic, holiday home which produced a ”few grapes” for some experimental home winemaking. It was a part time venture initially with both still working full time in Perth, Tony at CSIRO and Bernice in TAFE. As time went on the few grapes quickly grew to ten acres, with initial planting of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Zinfandel later expanded to include Muscat, Durif and Riesling.
Mandalay Road vineyard is in a picturesque setting, nestled into the valley of the South Preston River. This location has a unique climate, with very cold winter temperatures and cool nights in summer. These conditions encourage an extended ripening period which produces fruit with an intense flavour profile. There is a small, rustic cellar door on the property and we invite you to come off the beaten track and visit us and taste our award winning wines. You can also buy through our secure online shop.
