Smallwater Estate Established in 1993, Smallwater Estate is located on the eastern side of the Geographe Wine Region and just a few kilometres south of Donnybrook. Initially intended to be a marron farm and a vineyard to grow contract grapes, the owners decided to make their own wine under the Smallwater Estate label.

Their first vintage in 2006 was a Zinfandel and comprised just 250 cases (3,000 bottles). Since then, production has grown to 2,500 cases with 70% being red wines. Attention to detail in the vineyard, as well as expert winemaking, are the recipe for its consistent wine quality.

‘If the fruit is not good enough, it isn’t picked and processed.’
