About Frazer Woods
The original sparkling wine producer in Margaret River, John Frazer of Frazer Woods has been devoted to making wines from the region using méthode traditionnelle since the early 1990’s. He has become one of Margaret River’s most iconic sparkling wine producers, and the Frazer Woods name is synonymous with crafting wines of exceptional quality. John was enjoying a quiet tipple at the local watering-hole on a Friday evening in the early 1980’s, when he heard of a property for sale in Willyabrup. 40km southwest of his beer mat and lying between the forest and the massive expanse of Indian Ocean, this piece of land piqued an interest in John that was only increased by further enquiry. Never ones to miss an opportunity, John and his wife Jan Woods purchased the property at an auction at the Vasse Hotel on 14 December 1985. What would become Frazer Woods was mostly bushland, plus one large paddock and a shack with no electricity. But John and Jan recognised in it something they could grow, nurture and encourage into life. It had potential. The ambition has always been to produce wines with a fine balance of fruit and complexity, whilst championing the Margaret River region. Crafted from local Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz, John makes his premium La Cache & Frazer Woods wines using méthode traditionnelle. Deep inside the quiet walls of the winery, the wine goes through secondary fermentation in bottle and embarks on a long period of ageing sur lie - an all-important process that is a hallmark of John’s winemaking. They have worked exceptionally hard since those early days, building the winery and their reputation, while also raising their family. More than a quarter of a century later, with the next generation of his sons Tom and Nick now working alongside their parents, this is a truly family owned and run operation. John and Jan continue to innovate and invest in state of the art equipment for the winery, however with his background as an electrician, John is also never afraid of improvisation! Their passion and hope is that the business will continue on for many years to come, with plans for an eco friendly cellar door already in the pipeline
