Western Australia is Australia's westernmost wine region, best known for the cool, ocean-tempered vineyards of Margaret River. WineFortune tracks two wines from two producers here; one wine is indexed and one is available in the shop.
The wines tracked are still whites under the Australian Geographical Indication system, led by Chardonnay. Margaret River's maritime climate, shaped by the Indian Ocean, gives white wines of freshness and precision. The sub-region has a strong reputation for both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, though the wines followed here are white.
The WineFortune index median stands at €140 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days.
