Swooping Magpie
is a Boutique Vineyard and Premium Wine producer based at Yallingup in the
Margaret River Wine Region of Western Australia.
Our Vineyard is situated at the top of the Naturaliste Ridge,
it was established in 1997/98, and is owned & operated by the Tuffield Family.
Neil Tuffield (Owner) and Winemaker Mark Standish have created a range of excellent, easy drinking and flavour-packed wines .
-----------------------------
Our Mediterranean - style climate features cooling
Indian Ocean breezes that flow up the valleys and through the vineyard in the evening during the long warm growing season.
We run the farm with sustainable agricultural practices, and use minimal water resources. All harvesting & pruning is by traditional
hand methods, and we use organic fertilisers and vine-sprays. We are working towards Organic Certification for the Estate Vineyard.
-----------------------------
Our aim is to produce a small Premium range of hand-crafted and affordable wines featuring both
Varietal and Blended styles to be marketed locally, and in selected outlets within Australia and Overseas. We deal only with independently
owned retailers, hotels restaurants and bars.
The many visitors to the vineyard sample some of the produce. Contact
us and arrange a visit.
We have 2 label ranges:
(all made entirely from Margaret River grapes)
The new “Kid on a bike” Range includes a deliciously fruity Chenin Blanc,
an easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon, a big-flavoured Cabernet-Merlot, and a Sweet Shiraz dessert wine as something unusual.
Our Estate range of Premium Varietals features a delicious, lightly oaked 100% Semillon, our Flagship Reserve Cabernet Franc
and now our 2005 Shiraz. Both reds have slowly developed their fine character with over 2 years in French & American Oak barrels and
have benefited from bottle development time. We are re-branding the Premium range under the Swooping Magpie "
Le Commonage
" Label. The first wine to be released is our new 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon,
followed by the 2009 Verdelho, 2006 Cabernet Franc and 2009 Semillon.
-----------------------------
New Cellar Door & Garden Cafe now open 7 days a week 10am to 5pm.
We are also shortly offering small and large tasting
glasses (available right now at our cellar) and the much sought after "Swooping Magpie T shirts."
