THE RINGBOLT STORY

As treacherous as it is beautiful, Western Australia’s rugged southwest coastline is littered with shipwrecks – the wreck of the Ringbolt being one of them. Sunk in the late 1800s in what is now known as Ringbolt Bay, located on the southern tip of the Margaret River wine region, adjacent to Cape Leeuwin. It is at Ringbolt Bay where the Southern and Indian Oceans merge and their invigorating waters lap at the edge of the Margaret River wine region.

MARGARET RIVER

Vineyards were first planted in Margaret River in the 19th century but disappeared in the early 20th century as the markets looked elsewhere. Defined by the oceans, the Margaret River region enjoys a temperate, maritime climate with high winter rainfall and pristine, robust sea breezes to cool the precious fruit – wonderful conditions for growing superior Cabernet Sauvignon.

HEATHER FRASER - WINEMAKER

Ringbolt Winemaker Heather Fraser has seen more of Australia than most, having grown up on army bases around the country. After graduating from a degree in marine biology and chemistry, Heather moved to the Barossa where she naturally grew curious about winemaking. Heather completed a degree at Charles Sturt University in 2003 and worked as an assistant winemaker for the Hill-Smith Family Vineyards . She gradually progressed to the role of Winemaker including responsibility of organic wines. Heather was appointed Ringbolt Winemaker in 2017 following Peter Gambetta’s retirement.
