One of the founding wineries of the Margaret River region, in Western Australia's extraordinary South West, Leeuwin Estate produced its first commercial vintage in 1979. The family owned business has been created around fine wine, fine food and the arts, and its founding philosophy is to make world-class wine. Simone Furlong tells us their story.
In the lead up to Margaret River Gourmet Escape 2012, a four-day food and wine festival held in WA's South West from November 22 to 25, Tourism Western Australia uncovered some of the people who call the region home, and who are behind the produce that the region is so well known for.
Thanks to its Mediterranean climate and rich fertile soils, WA's South West has a reputation for producing world-class food and wine. The area is also well known for its pristine beaches, enviable surf breaks, ancient tall timber forests and an abundance of flora and fauna.
