Voyager Estate has some of the oldest Chenin Blanc vines in Margaret River, with some of the vines planted as far back as 1978. The vineyard soils are mostly gravelly loams with a stony clay subsoil. With excellent drainage and good moisture-holding capacity, they produce fruit with exceptional balance.

Chilled to 15 degrees, the fermentation was predominantly in stainless steel to retain varietal aromatics. After fermentation the wine was left on lees for six weeks with regular bâtonnage. 2020 was a near-perfect vintage, and this perennial bargain is again hitting highs with its intensity and complexity. It’s clean and lively with vibrant tropical fruits and citrus, that slip of sweetness and well balanced natural acidity.

“White pear, summer apricot, jasmine tea and white spice. The palate has a waxy Vouvray vibe going on, which really builds on itself through the evolution over the palate. Desperately pleasurable, jolly good drinking.” 95 Points, Erin Larkin, Winecompanion.com.au

About Us

Voyager Estate is one of the founding wine estates in Margaret River, conceived by Michael Wright—a farmer and regional pioneer.

Established in 1978, in 2018 Voyager Estate celebrated 40 years since our original plantings. All our wines are 100% estate grown, made and bottled, and reflect the unique qualities of our place in Stevens Valley with its undulating slopes, warm summers and cooling maritime breezes.

We are one of Australia’s most innovative producers of world-class Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon and by 2023 we’ll be Certified Organic.

Our aim is to shine a light on what makes our unique place in Margaret River so special. Both through how we grow and make our wine, and how we share the experience of it with every visitor that walks through our door.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
