Forest Hill Vineyard has a unique place in the history of Western Australia’s wine industry, being the first cool climate vineyard planted in the state. Following extensive research throughout the South-West, a site was chosen on the property owned by Tony and Betty Pearce and in 1965 a two hectare vineyard was planted. 50 years on Forest Hill is family owned and run. The wines are crafted in Denmark with the grapes sourced from the old, dry grown, Forest Hill Vineyard in Mount Barker. The wines reflect the site, the season and the people that nurture them. There is a passion for the region, it’s climate and the wines, and to recognise Forest Hill as a unique and historic property. The philosophy of dry-farming the vineyards was an original character which has continued. They see themselves as custodians of the region and it’s old vines planted at Forest Hill and have focussed on re-habilitation of the creek-lines and other areas to rejuvenate the property to its historical condition, planting large numbers of native trees on the property.
