Swan Valley Old Vine Charter
Natural Attractions
The Swan Valley is home to the oldest grape vines in Western Australia.
Old vines have shaped classic styles of wine and are behind some of the most extraordinary wines produced in Australia.
Using grapes from vines that have been in the ground for generations elevates the wine experience beyond a glass of wine; it is sharing a piece of heritage.
Wine not only reflects a region’s sense of place, it also provides a snapshot of the year in which it was made.
The purpose of the Swan Valley Old Vine Charter is to support the long-term protection of old vines and validate their value in winemaking.
Within a decade the majority of vineyards in the Swan Valley will be classified as Old Vine.
Consumers can visit more than 20 Swan Valley winery charter members to taste and purchase wines made from the fruit of old vines.
