Australia Vineyards Woody Nook Wines Estate The land now occupied by the Woody Nook Wines estate was formerly home to a sawmill and sleeper cutters. In 1978 Jeff and Wynn Gallagher, wishing to make a change from their floor-covering business in Perth, purchased the property with a vineyard in mind and began the arduous task of clearing and preparing the land. The first cuttings were planted in 1982 and the first crush took place in 1987, the first winery building having been built the year before. The Gallaghers constructed this and their new home from timber and rammed mud brick, both materials being available on the property. There are still about sixty acres of jarrah and marri forest forming a magnificent backdrop to the winery and restaurant. At the end of 1999 when Jeff and Wynn decided to retire to Busselton and put Woody Nook on the market, Peter and Jane Bailey became the proud new owners in May 2000. As part of the deal, Neil Gallagher stayed on as Winemaker/Viticulturist and was offered a shareholding in the business. This was fairly crucial for the Baileys as they are currently resident in the U.S.A., although were in W.A. previously for almost 20 years and have a home, family and many friends in Perth. They are deeply involved with the day to day running of the winery, thanks to modern technology and, until their return, will visit regularly. Woody Nook currently has a total of 17 acres of non-irrigated vines, including cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot, sauvignon blanc, chenin blanc, chardonnay, semillon and cabernet franc, the grapes from which are totally hand-picked and produce over 5,000 cases of wine. A further 50 acres of land immediately adjacent to the existing vineyard were purchased by Woody Nook in 2006. Approximately 20 acres will be planted with vines in 2007 (a mix of current varietals and some different - Spanish - ones) and hopefully this will see a doubling of production by 2012. 506 Metricup Road Wilyabrup Western Australia 6280 AUSTRALIA Telephone: +61 (0) 8 9755 7547 Facsimile: +61 (0) 8 9755 7007 Website:www.woodynook.com.au
