About Windows Estate
Small Producer of the Year 2012 - Ray Jordan
Best Sauvignon Blanc in WA - Ray Jordan
Established in 1996, Windows Estate is a boutique wine producer located on the border of the Yallingup and Wilyabrup regions of the Margaret River appellation.
The unique terroir of the site, bordering national park which is then adjacent to the Indian Ocean, creates a pristine environment in which to nurture our vines and produce outstanding fruit.
We believe great wines begin in the vineyard, which is why all Windows Estate vines are meticulously cared for and dry block grown to ensure maximum concentration of flavours. Being a small, family-owned and operated winery, great passion goes into creating unique styles for each and every wine under our label.
In the winery itself, traditional winemaking methods are applied to handcraft wines of elegance and distinction. White wines undergo partial barrel fermentation, resulting in the retention of the fruit characters whilst adding structure and texture to the wine. And for reds, open fermentation is implemented, including hand plunging, extended maceration, manual basket pressing and maturation in a range of French oak barriques.
This makes Windows Estate one of the few traditional wineries remaining that still utilise a manual basket press. While it is a very labour intensive and a much slower process, we feel that the results speak for themselves.
