Silkwood Wines
Welcome to Silkwood Wines, Pemberton
At Silkwood Wines (based in Pemberton, in the beautiful SW of Western Australia), we believe that good wine can only come from healthy vines grown on good soil in the right climate. This critical combination imparts a depth of flavour and character that cannot be imitated. Our extensive search and establishment of the Silkwood Winery vineyard in the Pemberton region was based on this philosophy.
Our focus on quality at Silkwood is of the utmost importance, production control methods include crop thinning, selective pruning and reduced watering. Guinea Fowl are used as a biological means of controlling insect pests, reducing the use of chemicals.With this philosophy our aim is to produce boutique wines that our customers will be proud to share with their friends.
Diary
15th May 2009 Autumn
Well, another vintage finally draws to a close and the vines breathe a sigh of relief.
The next month or so is quite an important time for the vines as they now use the last of the warm sunny days before winter to build up their energy stores so they are ready to burst into action next spring.
The white wines, especially the Sav/Blanc from this vintage, are looking the best we have seen for a long while.
The 2009 Reds are all now maturing in a mixture of new French and American oak barrels and we now play the waiting game to see how their final quality pans out; it is looking promising so far.
Our Cellar Door is presently closed for a kitchen upgrade and verandah extension. The popularity of our lunches has found our old kitchen too small and no longer practical.
We hope to be back on track early June and would love to see you all sitting on the new deck trying our delicious platters and wines.
To coincide with our big changes we have discounted most of our wine ranges in preparation for our new wines to come onto the market.
