James' Review

Bob and Marilyn Fowler purchased Kalgan River from founders John and Dianne Ciprian in early 2010. Kalgan River will remain an independent business from an operational viewpoint and will continue to be exclusively made from the mature vineyards (7 ha of shiraz, 5 ha cabernet sauvignon, 4 ha each of chardonnay and riesling and 1 ha of viognier). No red wines were produced in 2009 (damp growing season). Exports to the UK.

About this winery

The Fowler family of Willoughby Park have stated their intention to be serious and dedicated players with a long term commitment to the Great Southern wine region of WA. In April 2011 Kalgan River became part of Willoughby Park. This tiny vineyard is a Great Southern gem hidden where you would never find it - a long way from anywhere! It is an extraordinary piece of country at the eastern end of the Porongurups and has already achieved a 5 star rating from James Halliday who has described it as a "mighty mouse of a vineyard". Since 2007 this "mighty mouse" has notched up several Trophies and numerous gold and silver awards at national wine shows. It's wines speak volumes of the elusive concept "terroir" or as senior winemaker and manager Michael Goundrey says - it's all about the rock. The Kalgan River wines are dry grown, single vineyard wines and Willoughby Park winery is proud to be the custodians of this iconic vineyard.
