Our winery is small, owned and operated by a dynamic team of two, Neil and Cathy Howard. We are a vigneron and winemaker couple with a combined 50 years of experience between us. We take a 'hands-on' approach to the growing of our grapes and the making of our wines, and we have a 'tread lightly on the earth' philosophy with our sustainable farming practices.
Our winery, vineyard, cellar door and wine sensory garden are located only 20 minutes from Busselton and 40 minutes from Margaret River. We are dog friendly winery, so bring your pooch along to meet us and Polly the wine dog. Our wines are small batch, single vineyard wines made from vines growing in the ancient soils of three of Australia's most isolated wine regions, Margaret River, Geographe and the Great Southern.

Our Story
Report
Our grape growing philosophy is to use sustainable biological management practices in our vineyard. We use a minimal spray application programme to prevent disease, and we do not use pesticides. Under-vine grasses and flowering plants are retained providing habitats that encourage predatory insects and insect diversity throughout our vineyard.

Report
These are all small batch wines made from grapes harvested from a single vineyard. Each wine tells a story about the terroir that it has been growing in, how it has been made, and who has made it which is totally unique! These two wines are named after the flocks of endangered Redtail and Whitetail black cockatoos that visit our farm daily.
