The Vineyards of Margaret River are surrounded on three sides by the ocean. Temperate maritime breezes wander through the vines and contribute to the development of flavour-rich fruitfrom which our winemakers create superior Australian wines.
With 150 years of family farming tradition at the foundation of Voyager Estate, viticultural craftsmanship coupled with the cool, coastal location and red gravelly soils of our Margaret River vineyards, allow us to nurture the vines to create Voyager Estate Girt by Sea, an approachable, fruit driven blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz.
