Margaret River is one of the great wine regions of the world. It has many different areas, which enjoy differing weather influences or macroclimates, which influence grape growing significantly.

The Willyabrup locality where the original Willespie plantings and winery are situated, experiences the moderating influence of the Indian Ocean, four kilometres away. The cool breezes and temperate evenings reflect a Mediterranean climate.

The new Willespie vineyard in the Jindong area is a little further inland and experiences warmer days and colder nights, which reflects a more continental climate.

The macroclimatic influences in the vineyards of the two areas produce grapes with different characteristics, which in turn give the winemakers greater possibilities and blending options in the winery.
This philosophy enables us to make the highest quality wines, that still proclaim distinctive Margaret River regionality and typicity.
