Voyager Estate is located in the premium wine producing region of Margaret River, Western Australia. Latest statistics show that, although only producing 4% of Australia's wine by volume, Margaret River wines account for 23% of the country's premium wine production. Voyager’s oldest vines date back to 1978, just over 10 years after vines were first planted in the area. When current owner, Michael Wright, took over the property in 1991, he set out to expand it and develop a visitor destination that would be a showcase for the region. He also set out to ensure that, above all else, the quality of wine being made at Voyager Estate would always be the best that nature, expertise and pure hard work could provide. We leave it for wine lovers and our visitors to judge for themselves. “In the opinion of Voyager Estate Viticulturist, Steve James, the application of simple vineyard philosophies is more important to making great wines than the application of new technologies: "There are a number of differences in viticultural techniques around the world, but the basic vineyard principles common to the best producers were terroir, minimal intervention and vine management." At Voyager Estate we are following the same path, with a minimal or no-input policy in terms of fertilizer, water and chemicals, and we are employing more and more organic practices. We do, however, employ maximum vine management in terms of canopy maintenance, aiming for low bud numbers and small bunches per vine for premium fruit quality. Clonal selection is also an area of increased attention, trying to match the best clones for our soil. Voyager Estate’s winemaking philosophy is simply to make the best wines we possibly can. Traditional methods are applied and the latest technology is utilised.” Voyager Estate makes wines from the classic grape varieties that are suited to the Margaret River region, and puts as much effort into making a lighter-style wine such as Sauvignon Blanc Semillon as it does into making the Chardonnay. Overall, Voyager Estate's winemaking and viticultural teams work as one to create distinctive wines from each vintage that display an elegance, complexity and balance that are true to the individuality of the vineyard blocks.
*What the critics have to say!*
Voyager Estate has come a long way since it was acquired by Michael Wright in 1991. It now has a substantial high-quality vineyard, which means it can select the best parcels of fruit for its own label, and supply surplus (but high-quality) to others. The Cape Dutch-style tasting room and vast rose garden are a major tourist attraction. Winery Rating: 5 Star James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion 2010
The quality of Voyager Estate reds is so high that a lot of its regional neighbors reckon it’s not fair – it makes life too hard fro them. Sounds like a red drinker’s paradise to us. “2005 Cabernet Merlot – it’s another pearler; just such a seamless red. Sure there are flavours of gravel, chocolate, blackcurrant and eucalypt, but it all comes across as a stunningly pure drop of red-wine goodness. It’s dark in colour and rich in flavour, with a luxurious séance of smoothness. Terrific.” Rating; 96 points Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh – The Big Red Wine Book – 2009/2010
2007 –“Superb elegance and poise here, the hallmarks of Voyager Estate across their entire range. The nose smells of red summer berries, some lighter perfumed nuances and musky fragrance – a really pretty, vivacious and alluring shiraz. The palate has intricate details and fine sheets of tannin that build in impressive shape, carry red berry, blueberry, plum and pastry flavours in bright, up-beat style from start to finish, adding some anise and licorice as it fades. Beautifully crafted and balanced.” Rating 96 points Nick Stock – The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide - 2010
