Woodlands Wines
Woodlands Wines is a long-established family winery in the Wilyabrup Valley, known for elegant Margaret River wines, careful vineyard work and a style that feels refined without losing warmth or drinkability. With roots going back to the early years of the region, Woodlands has built a reputation for wines that combine site, continuity and quiet confidence.
About Woodlands Wines
Woodlands Wines was founded in 1973 by David and Heather Watson in the Wilyabrup Valley, one of Margaret River’s most highly regarded areas for premium winegrowing. That long history gives the winery real substance, but Woodlands has always felt more grounded than showy, with a strong family identity that still sits at the centre of the estate.
There is a sense of continuity to Woodlands that suits the wines well. Rather than feeling shaped by trends, the winery comes across as patient and site-focused, with a clear belief in vineyard quality and in letting the region speak clearly through the finished wines.
Wilyabrup and the Woodlands style
Wilyabrup is one of the defining parts of Margaret River, and Woodlands is very much a reflection of that setting. The wines tend to show balance, structure and polish, with the kind of composure that comes from strong vineyard foundations rather than heavy-handed winemaking.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay sit naturally within that story, but what stands out more broadly is the consistency of the range. Woodlands wines feel measured and complete, with fruit purity, detail and a regional character that remains clear from vintage to vintage.
A family estate built on vineyard care
Part of what makes Woodlands distinctive is the care given to the vineyard itself. The estate is certified organic, and that vineyard-first approach comes through in the clarity and energy of the wines. There is a strong sense that quality begins in the vineyard, and the wines benefit from that attention.
The addition of the Woodlands Brook vineyard added another layer to the estate, giving the family further scope while keeping the focus firmly within Wilyabrup. Together, the two sites help shape a range that feels complete, thoughtful and closely tied to place.
