Set in Pemberton’s premier wine growing region amidst towering karri forests, Silkwood Estate 23.75 hectare vineyard is blessed with gravelly soils and cool, even temperatures during the ripening periods.
Following an extensive search of Western Australian wine regions, Pemberton was chosen in 1998 as the most suitable to establish Silkwood Estate.
The selection process was based on finding both an ideal climate and soil to produce quality wines, particularly the flagship Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc varietals.
The prevailing temperate climate and cool temperatures during ripening periods, rich gravelly loam and gently undulating landscape featured strongly in our selection and make Pemberton a premium cool-climate wine region.
