JUNIPER

Juniper Estate is a boutique, family‑owned winery situated in the heart of the Wilyabrup sub‑region of Margaret River, Western Australia—about 270 km south of Perth. Its vineyards, originally planted in 1973 under the name Wright’s, are among the region’s pioneering estates alongside renowned names like Vasse Felix and Cape Mentelle  . Officially established in 1998 by Roger Hill and Gillian Anderson, the estate combines heritage and innovation to produce premium wines rooted in place, purity, and passion.

The estate cultivates three distinctive vineyard sites: the original Wilyabrup dry‑grown vineyard (planted 1973), the cooler Karridale vineyard (established 1997), and the newer Metricup block (planted in 2008), each contributing unique terroir expressions to the wines  . Juniper focuses on sustainable and organic viticulture—hand‑pruned and hand‑harvested vines, unirrigated dry‑grown plantings, and minimal cellar intervention—to preserve site purity and character.

Juniper Estate holds a 5-star rating from Halliday and ranks in the top 5% of over 1,600 Australian and New Zealand wineries as listed by The Real Review—a testament to their consistent quality and winery ethos  . Individual wines such as the Three Fields Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz regularly earn praise for their complexity, layered fruit, fine tannins, and subtle spice—reflecting both depth and drinkability.
