Estate grown from the spectacular hillside vineyard in the Ferguson Valley of the Geographe wine region, fruit is sourced predominately from the Blinman block which was planted in 1998. Soil is typically a deep layer of ironstone gravelly loam over red and yellow friable clay with slight westerly aspects at elevations of 220 to 250m above sea level.

As The Halliday Wine Companion says, “Jeff and Vicky Dewar have followed a fast track in developing Willow Bridge since acquiring the spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley... many of its wines offer exceptional value for money.” Halliday first listed Willow Bridge among his ‘Dark Horse Wineries of 2013’. They went on to feature in ‘Best Wineries of 2014’ and now they carry the coveted 5 Red star rating. An impressive trajectory! Taste their dazzlingly crisp Dragonfly Sauvignon Semillon, spice-filled ‘Dragonfly’ Shiraz and dark, velvety ‘Dragonfly’ Cabernet Merlot here.

The grapes for our 2016 Showy Willow Sauvignon Blanc come from a small vineyard at the top of Willunga Hill in the Adelaide Hills.
