About Marri Wood Park
DEMETER CERTIFIED | BIODYNAMIC VINEYARD | NO CHEMICALS NO PESTICIDES
Marri Wood Park is a boutique family run and owned, Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard. Established 1992 in Yallingup, Western Australia, located on Caves Road, a stone throw from Smiths Beach.
Their biodynamic philosophy utilises sustainable, chemical free practices.
Applying the timing and movement of celestial objects to predicate pruning, live animal fertilising,
and picking; complementing their natural and introduced bio-diversity as an ecologically beneficial approach to farming.
Sixteen acres and ten-thousand vines comprising cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc, chenin blanc, semillon and a terroir of sandy gravelly loam on limestone bedrock. No irrigation; made possible by the dewy, cooling breeze which
rolls off the Southern Indian Ocean in conjunction with gentle north facing slopes, undulating topography and well-established roots of their 28-year-old vines.
The result is hardy vines that produce high quality, robust and delicious grapes. The berries are hand-picked and sorted and then fermented in an array of fermenters (including clay amphoras, French and Austrian oak barrels) to produce the highest quality wine exemplifying the Margaret River region’s fine viticultural qualities.
