From ancient Georgian grapes to Mediterranean surprises, these new releases reflect the winery’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and showcasing the true diversity of the West Australian terroir.

Ancient | Unique | Cool-Climate Power

Saperavi might be one of the oldest wine grapes on the planet, but in Western Australia, it’s nearly unheard of. This 2022 Reserve release from Woodgate Wines in Manjimup is a rare chance to explore a bold, savoury red that’s worlds apart from Shiraz or Cabernet.

Grown in the cool-climate rolling hills of the Southern Forests and matured with care, this wine offers depth and distinction that will excite any adventurous drinker. If you love exploring the edges of the wine map, this is a must-try.

Woodgate Lagrein

Dark | Rare & Distinctive | Velvety Power

A unique, small-batch red crafted from one of the rarest grapes grown in Western Australia. This 2023 Reserve Lagrein from Manjimup is inky, intense, and irresistibly different. Aged for 18 months in French oak, it delivers dark fruit power with silky texture, fine-grained tannins, and a long, satisfying finish.

Lagrein is a variety native to the alpine valleys of northern Italy, and its presence in WA is almost unheard of—making this a unique chance to taste something outside the usual Cabernet or Shiraz lanes. If you’re looking to expand your red wine horizons, this is your bottle.

Woodgate Rose

Textural | Rare & Radiant | Unique

A truly one-of-a-kind rosé crafted from the unexpected union of Brachetto and Chardonnay, fermented and matured for 9 months in traditional clay amphora. This small-batch, Manjimup-grown wine is both a curiosity and a delight—bright, creamy, and endlessly refreshing. Think strawberries and cream with a citrus zip, carried by a saline minerality and fine acidity only possible with extended lees contact and skilled amphora ageing.

This is not your typical rosé—Partners in Wine WA highly recommend it for those looking to try something adventurous, rare, and incredibly moreish.
