Welcome to Wattle Ridge Vineyard
& the Two Tinsmiths Wine Series

Jim and Vicky Henderson welcome you to Wattle Ridge Vineyard and the home of the
Two Tinsmiths wine series.

The decision to plant grape vines was made from our love of good wine and a belief that the property and position was perfect for this venture. The vineyard was first established in 1997 when we planted 10,000 Cabernet vines. We are situated in the Blackwood Valley wine region and on the highest point of the Darling Scarpe in the southwest of West Australia, with rich Laterite soils, an abundance of water and the perfect climate, cold frosty winters and hot dry summers, which is typically Mediterranean style.
With the success of those first vines and the popularity of our wines we have now increased our grape varieties to include more Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc as well as Verdelho, which will be in production by 2012.  Being the only vineyard in our area gives us the benefits of having a clean green environment for our vines & wines.

Each year Jim manages our vineyard so that we only produce about 3 tonne to the acre which gives us grapes of a premium quality in flavour, colour and character.
