Our Area
With 122 hectares of vines, Chalice Bridge is one of the largest single planted vineyards in the Margaret River wine region. Nestled in the cooler southern part of the Margaret River wine region, Rosa Glen is towards the southern half of the peninsula bounded by Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. The harvest at Chalice Bridge can be 2-3 weeks later than the northern areas of Margaret River, allowing the development of greater intensity and complexity in the wines. This later harvest period also produces clear varietal and regional characters in the Chalice Bridge wines with unique and seldom seen varietal characters also coming through.The vineyard provides breathtaking views across vine laden hillsides and spectacular national forest, with the undulating terrain providing a magnificent backdrop for growing superior quality fruit.
