Details
The Pignoletto grape is very rare in Australia with only a handful of wineries making wines from this lovely grape. Vineyard 28 has produced a stunner with zesty lemon, nashi pear and crisp, sea spray lift. Get in quick, because this won't last long.
Vineyard 28 is located on the drive from Perth to Margaret River, along the Forest Highway, which makes it a perfect stop to whet the appetite for those making the trek down. Here you will find a delightful cellar door attached to the winery and family home where Mark and Pippa ply their craft. The vineyard gets its name from the name of one of several parrots that call their property home, the 28 Parrot or for those budding bird watchers in the crowd, the Port Lincoln Parrot. Aside from the 28 parrots, a host of cockatoos and plenty of other native wildlife, you will find an abundance of Italian varieties that have made this vineyard home. Mark and Pippa have a passion for Piedmont varieties, so you will find Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato and Nebbiolo here alongside a smattering of other varieties. To add to the wholesome factor, Pippa is a crafty quiltmaker and sells local artwork on the property.

Wine region

Geographe, Australia
Geographe is a wine region located in the South West region of Western Australia (40 minute’s drive Northeast of Margaret River). It has a Mediterranean-style climate with warm, dry summers and mild, winters, which is ideal for growing grapes. The soils are predominantly sandy loams, providing good drainage and nutrient levels for the vines, and some vineyards have access to the permanent water table 15m below.
It is known for producing high quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Shiraz. Compared to nearby Margaret River, Cabernet Sauvignon from Geographe tends to have distinctly fine gain and lingering tannins. The region has seen a rapid growth of boutique producers in recent years, aided by its proximity to Geographe Bay, which is home to a world-class food and wine scene, but attractions like Busselton Jetty, Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and gorgeous seascape panoramas.
