Australia Vineyards Voyager Estate Voyager Estate is located in the premium wine producing region of Margaret River, Western Australia. Latest statistics show that, although only producing 4% of Australia's wine by volume, Margaret River wines account for 23% of the country's premium wine production. Voyager Estate is proud to be among the select wineries that contribute to this production. Our oldest vines date back to 1978, just over 10 years after vines were first planted in the area. When current owner, Michael Wright, took over the property in 1991, he set out to expand it and develop a visitor destination that would be a showcase for the region. He also set out to ensure that, above all else, the quality of wine being made at Voyager Estate would always be the best that nature, expertise and pure hard work could provide. We leave it for wine lovers and our visitors to judge for themselves. In the opinion of Voyager Estate Viticulturist, Steve James, the application of simple vineyard philosophies is more important to making great wines than the application of new technologies: "There are a number of differences in viticultural techniques around the world, but the basic vineyard principles common to the best producers were terroir, minimal intervention and vine management." At Voyager Estate we are following the same path, with a minimal or no-input policy in terms of fertiliser, water and chemicals, and we are employing more and more organic practices. We do, however, employ maximum vine management in terms of canopy maintenance, aiming for low bud numbers and small bunches per vine for premium fruit quality. Clonal selection is also an area of increased attention, trying to match the best clones for our soil. Whilst there will always be experimentation with newtechnologies, experience in both the Old World and the New has shown that the deepest expression of the vineyard is reliant on the basics. We may not have the history of the Old World but the adoption of their traditional vineyard philosophies is at the very heart of what makes Voyager Estate the quality that it is.
