The Margaret River wine region, located in the southwest corner of Western Australia, is one of the country's most prestigious and internationally acclaimed wine areas. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with strong maritime influence, the region enjoys a long, consistent growing season ideal for producing premium wines. Cabernet Sauvignon is the standout red, known for its power, structure, and elegance, often blended with Merlot in a Bordeaux style.
Chardonnay is equally celebrated, offering richness, fine acidity, and subtle oak integration. Margaret River is also famous for its crisp, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc–Semillon blends, which display vibrancy and freshness. With a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and estate-grown fruit, Margaret River combines exceptional wines with stunning coastal landscapes, luxury cellar doors, gourmet food experiences, and a thriving wine tourism culture.
The Hippie Cabernet Merlot is a beautiful wine sourced from a blend of Margaret River and Blackwood Valley fruit. It is clearly varietal, leafy, medium bodied red showing its real style.
The Hippie Shiraz is a beautiful wine sourced from a blend of Margaret River and Blackwood Valley fruit. This is an elegant cool climate wine. Showing peppery and leafy notes on the nose. It is a light to medium boded wine with a dry palate.
The Houghton Stripe Red Classic is a medium bodied, easy drinking blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. Restrained red fruit with a background of menthol, leather and tobacco on the nose leads to a big mouthful of cherries, vanilla and plums with good intensity. A nicely balanced wine, drinking very well.
Vibrant dark red with a youthful purple hue. Highly aromatic with enticing aromas of violets, mulberries and boysenberries with lifted cardamom and white pepper spices.
The Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark purple with a bright scarlet hue. The bouquet is dense with concentrated dark forest fruits, black olives, blackberry and dark chocolate characters with a subtle overlay of dried herbs – bay leaf, tobacco and wild mint. High quality French oak completes the picture. The palate is full rich, and sumptuously layered wine with intensity, power and presence. The dense, firm, fine grained tannin is beautifully integrated with the fruit and oak providing a seamless palate. A wine of exceptional concentration and length. Outstanding intensity, structure and balance will ensure a long cellaring life. A wonderful concentrated expression of Cabernet.
The Houghton Chardonnay displays flavours of white peach and grilled hazelnuts with a creamy finish. Toasty oak notes combine well with the fresh and youthful flavours.
