Sipping Serenity
Six years ago, Maree and Ben purchased a winery, driven by the dream of creating a sanctuary – a place where beauty, tranquillity and soul-restoring peace come together. They envisioned producing fine wines that were not only a joy to drink but also perfect for sharing among friends. The winery was named after the majestic Redgum trees that stand tall at the entrance, ancient monoliths whose age remains a mystery but whose presence commands respect.
Restoring the vineyard to its current splendour took five years of dedication, planning and hard work. It became a true family affair, with Maree’s parents contributing immensely to the vineyard’s transformation. Without their tireless efforts, the winery would not be the vibrant, thriving estate it is today. Over the years, more than 200 trees have been planted, irrigation systems installed, mainlines replaced, dams reshaped, a jetty built, and homes renovated. Underground power cables and water tanks were added, and a stylish winery was constructed, along with a climate-controlled wine storage facility. The project is ongoing, with Redgum Wine Estate always evolving.
Maree’s meticulous planning is evident in every corner of the winery, which exudes a refined elegance that could easily be found in Provence or Italy. The food is simple yet sophisticated, designed to complement the diverse range of wines available. Redgum Wine Estate is rapidly becoming a soughtafter wedding venue, offering a polished ambiance just hours from Perth. Corporate events are also gaining popularity in this unique setting.
The winery produces seven varieties of grapes, carefully handpicked to ensure only the finest make it to the press. The vineyard is managed with great respect for nature, allowing each vintage to reflect the character and challenges of the season. Redgum Wine Estate invites visitors to experience a truly exceptional winery, where every bottle tells the story of the land.
