Donnelly River

Donnelly River Wines is situated in the Pemberton Wine Region in South West Western Australia. Established in 1985, the property is 36km from the town of Pemberton on the Vasse Highway and was one of the first wineries established in the region. The vineyard is around a three and a half-hour drive south of Perth (350kms) and approximately an hour from Margaret River.

Located on the banks of the Donnelly River, our family-owned vineyard is in the heart of Karri country. These tall, majestic trees stand, forest upon forest, in national parks, amid creeks and rivers, wetlands, and waterfalls. The rich river flats and the surrounding hills of silty loam have proved ideal for the vines.

The area has a dry, cool ripening period that is well-suited to most of the premium grape varieties. It is very wet during the winter months, and rainfall is stored in dams to be used for irrigation in the summer months.
