Discover wines of highest quality

Juniper was founded by the late Roger Hill and his wife Gillian Anderson to produce wines that would rank among the best in Wilyabrup and beyond. Wilyabrup, the successful sub-region of Margaret River is particularly famous for its red wines. But they also make white wines, rose wines and dessert wines of the highest quality here.

State-of-the-art technique

While making the wines, control of the process is a critical factor to make the premium wines. The Juniper has a state-of-the-art winery and a temperature-controlled barrel room built in 1999. The fruit is treated optimally in the winery with the help of modernized tools like the refrigeration and storage equipment. The batches are kept small and are treated separately, evaluated and blended which makes the entire process a boutique operation. The wines are made in the Margaret River style of depth and elegance with careful use of oak, which adds to the complexity.

The grape varieties grown at Juniper are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Tempranillo, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Fiano. Their signature wine is Cabernet Sauvignon.
