About Willoughby Park

Willoughby Park is a 5 star award winning winery with has three tiers of wines. Willoughby Park, Kalgan River and our premium Ironrock range. This is also the site of Boston Brewing Co which offers a restaurant, bar and playground for the kids.

After its establishment in 2000, Bob and Marilyn Fowler purchased the estate in 2010 and created Willoughby Park. Since then, the Fowler family’s intention has been to create expressive wines that are true representations of the Great Southern wine region. Our premium fruit is treated with care throughout the winemaking process, with each step focusing on allowing the inherit varietal and regional characteristics to shine through. Hand-picked, estate-grown fruit is given the spotlight here.

On Western Australia’s South Coast where the Southern Ocean has sculpted a raw and dramatic coastline; on the eastern edge of the Porongurup Range National Park, lies a tiny vineyard. A true hidden gem of the Great Southern wine region. This is our Kalgan River vineyard.

A place James Halliday describes as a “mighty mouse of a vineyard”, awarding it a 5-star rating. Its proximity to the Southern Ocean brings cooling summer breezes, slowing the ripening of the grapes and allowing for a long, cool, and even ripening period.

These vines are dry-grown with root systems travelling deep into rocky soil beds, creating complex fruit with a unique expression of place. Terroir, natural climatic advantage and sensitive viticulture come together to work their magic in this place of beauty and potential.

Alongside our highly regarded Kalgan River vineyard, we also work with professional wine growers in sub regions across the Great Southern for our Willoughby Park range. The Great Southern is the largest and most diverse wine region in Western Australia, and with this great multiplicity on our doorstep, our winemaking team are able to identify the most ideal locations to grow the varieties found in our Willoughby Park range.

The varying soil types, altitudes and rainfalls of the region are all expertly taken advantage of. The Great Southern Wine Region is made up of five sub-regions – Denmark, Frankland River, Mount Barker, Porongurup and Albany. From sprawling agricultural lands, to unspoilt coastline, to towering forests and mountain ranges – we are incredibly lucky to call this spectacular corner of the world home.

L’Atelier Wines

L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
