Inside
Plantagenet Wines was the first winery in the Great Southern wine region of Western Australia and has developed an enviable reputation for producing premium quality wines since 1975. Our wines have achieved international recognition for their amazing depth of flavour and structure. The style of our wines are suited to a diverse range of cuisine, due to their elegance, finesse and incredible balance.
In 1968, the young and vibrant Tony Smith, planted an experimental vineyard on his Bouverie property in the Great Southern of Western Australia. After many trials and tribulations, including some untimely pruning by a flock of stray sheep, the first grapes were picked in 1974. In 1975, a shed, in the township of Mount Barker, in the heart of the Great Southern, was purchased and the first vintage from the winery was produced.
The Great Southern encompasses an area 100 kilometres long by 65 kilometres wide with a climate ranging from strong maritime to moderately continental. The ancient soils date back 1000 million years and the clean, pristine environment provide the perfect backdrop for producing magnificent wines.
