The Forest Hill Vineyard was established in 1965, and is the oldest cool-climate vineyard in Western Australia. It is located 10 minutes' drive west of Mt Barker (4 km west of Denmark), in the Great Southern Region. Its unique topography, deep gravel soils and proximity to the Southern Ocean ensures mild summers with cooling southerly breezes. This provides ideal conditions for the production of cool climate wine styles.
At the time of establishment vineyard irrigation was not an industry consideration and all early plantings were 'dry grown' providing drought prevention and ensuring low yields. Forest Hill have retained this approach, believing it to be a major contributor to vine health and concentration of fruit flavour. The Forest Hill Vineyard is managed by viticulturist Luke Jolliffe.
