About Brookland Valley Estate
Located on Caves Road in the heart of the premium Margaret River Wine region, Brookland Valley is a truly spectacular Estate.
Sustainable viticulture and winemaking with minimal inputs allows our unique location and vineyard to speak for themselves in our wines…
James Halliday has consistently recognised Brookland Valley as an outstanding winery and again, in 2019 was awarded 5 Star Winery. Brookland Valley has achieved 5 Red Stars (top 3.5% of all Australian wineries) for 10 consecutive years (Halliday Wine Companion).
Courtney Treacher
After earning a Bachelor of Science (Viticulture and Oenology) at Curtin University, Courtney began her career in vineyards in the Perth Hills, Swan Valley, Margaret River at Redgate Wines, and Hunter Valley at Tamburlaine Wines. Courtney joined Houghton Wines in 2004 and has since delivered 20 vintages across Houghton, Swan Valley, and Nannup. In 2020, we proudly appointed Courtney to Senior Winemaker for Houghton Wines.
Courtney enjoys leading a dynamic team and taking on the challenge of making exceptional wines of varied styles under the Houghton, Brookland Valley, Goundrey, Amberley and Moondah Brook ranges. Courtney has judged at many local and national wine shows, and she was a scholar at the prestigious Len Evans Tutorial in 2011. An experience she describes as once in a lifetime.
Courtney has a longstanding passion for winemaking, falling in love with the transformational art behind crafting grapes into wine.
When she is not enjoying a traditional Chardonnay, Riesling or Cabernet, you can find Courtney enjoying photography or travelling to exotic locations. This includes across her home state of Western Australia.
