Ferguson Valley sits inland and at higher elevation than nearby Margaret River, in Western Australia's Geographe wine zone, with jarrah forest and rolling hills giving it a cooler, more contained climate than the coast. It remains a small producer by volume, but its combination of altitude and maritime influence supports both aromatic whites and medium-bodied reds without the intensity of Western Australia's warmer inland areas.

Key grapes: Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho
