Manjimup   Western Australia

A beautiful wine region tucked in Western Australia's Southern corner. Although Pinot Noir is widely planted, it is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that are beginning to make a name for themselves.

The region still only bears an interim registration as a wine region because there is a split between the vignerons, some wishing to have a separate region while others want to go with Pemberton.

The regions differ in both soils and climate. Manjimup has more sunshine, is warmer, and less humid. Manjimup's soil (marri) is less fertile, having more sand and gravel than Pemberton's karri loam.

The Donnelly River flows across its eastern corner, and the Warren River flows from the north-east across the region through to Pemberton.

The main towns are Palgarup, Manjimup and Jardee.

The region produces a range of wine styles including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho; Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. The region also sells a lot of its fruit to other wineries in the state.

Manijimup has lovely boutique wineries, some with cellar doors, magnificent forests and beautiful rich countryside.

Harvest time: mid March to late April
