Perched atop the granite ridges of the Blackwood River Escarpment, the Nannup Estate vineyard basks in an elevated setting. Throughout the growing season, the long summer days provide ample sunshine, complemented by refreshing cool evenings and gentle coastal breezes in the afternoons—creating an idyllic environment for cultivation. With plentiful water supply, nutrient-rich granite loam soils, and minimal frost and disease challenges, the vineyard enjoys optimal conditions, ensuring dependable quality and producing consistently exceptional vintages.

Late in the 19th century roaming cattle were constantly found grazing on the sweet grass of the granite hills which are now home to Nannup Estate. Farmers recognised the quality of the land and the location was one of the first to be taken up for agriculture in the region. It is still considered by local farmers as prime production land. Standing proudly at the highest vantage point of Nannup Estate Wines, commanding views across the expansive property, is a sturdy jarrah firetower erected in the 1960s by the Forestry Department of that era. Positioned strategically, this tower served as a crucial component in the department’s firefighting efforts, overseeing the landscape with vigilance. While advancements in technology have rendered the tower obsolete in modern fire control operations, its enduring presence remains a poignant symbol of the property’s historical significance and its commanding position in the surrounding terrain.
