Pemberton Wine Region, Western Australia

Pemberton lies among the giant karri forests of WA’s deep south-west, one of Australia’s most distinctive wine landscapes. High rainfall, forest shade, and cool, humid air ripen Chardonnay and Pinot Noir slowly to elegance, while Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Bordeaux-style blends complete a district of boutique wineries threaded between the trees.

Sauvignon Blanc is grassy and vivid, and Merlot with Bordeaux-style blends round out one of the state’s newest fine-wine identities, established from the 1980s. Cellar doors share the forests with trout streams and the famous climbing trees, making the district a natural touring destination.
