The Case for Manjimup Cabernet

Manjimup is famous for many things.

Towering Karri Forests, world-renowned black truffles, crisp apples and rich, fertile soils that have made this corner of Western Australia one of the country's great food bowls.

In our humble opinion, it should also be famous for Cabernet Sauvignon.

For decades, Cabernet Sauvignon has been closely associated with regions such as Margaret River and Coonawarra, and rightly so. Yet quietly, in the cool-climate vineyards of Manjimup, another story has been unfolding.

A Different Expression of Cabernet

Situated in the heart of the Southern Forests, Manjimup enjoys a cooler climate than many of Australia's renowned Cabernet-growing regions. Warm summer days are balanced by cool nights, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly while retaining freshness, natural acidity and varietal character. Combined with rich loam soils and reliable winter rainfall, the result is Cabernet Sauvignon with elegance, vibrancy and balance.

A Family Tradition

For the Peos family, growing grapes has never simply been about making wine.

Viticulture has been part of our family's story for generations. After arriving in Manjimup in the 1950s, the family put down roots in the region, farming everything from dairy cattle and beef to potatoes, beans and horticultural crops before returning to their winemaking heritage with the establishment of Peos Estate.

Every vintage reflects that connection to place and the belief that exceptional wine begins in exceptional vineyards.
