Around the Farm and Cellar Door at Jilyara

"What a cracker of a vintage!
We’ve wrapped up vintage 2025, and looking back, it’s been a standout year for Margaret River. Ideal growing conditions have led to some exceptional wines, with the reds in particular showing great promise.

With all the fruit now safely in the winery, we’re looking forward to some well-earned downtime with family and friends over the Easter break. If you’re in the South West over Easter or beyond, please drop by the cellar door for a visit—say hi, enjoy a wine tasting, and maybe share a cheeky cheese platter too."

Kate Morgan, Winemaker Jilyara

"A super year for malbec in Margaret River and this translates into an excellent example of the variety. It’s largely malbec but there are small contributions from cabernet and petit verdot adding colour and structure. Neatly integrated with bright red fruits dominant. Has all the raspberry and spicy chocolate characters you expect. Supported by a chalky tannin profile. Excellent wine." (click image for more about this wine)

Last week, we picked our Merlot and Cabernet for the Rosé, which is showing a stunning pale hue with delicate strawberry and cherry notes. 
A small portion of the juice has also gone into barrel—just enough to enhance texture and complexity while keeping the fruit’s bright vibrancy front and center.

Bursting with its signature tropical fruit notes and fresh acidity. 
Fermentation is nearly complete, and once both the tank and barrel portions are fully dry, they’ll be blended and settled into a full tank.

Vintage 2025 going into the press.
Fruit in abundance, looking plump and juicy. We can relax, there will be premium Jilyara Chardonnay in our glasses next year too.
Happy days!
