Mountford Wines in Pemberton is a renowned vineyard and cidery with deep roots in Western Australia’s South West. Established in 1987, it’s one of the region’s pioneering wineries, selected for its ideal cool climate and rich soils. Founder Andrew Mountford, a trained horticulturist, was drawn to Pemberton’s unique terroir, which allows for the successful cultivation of early-ripening varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot. The winery’s commitment to organic practices since inception is evident through its NASAA organic certification, ensuring that each bottle of wine captures the authentic essence of the land.

A notable part of the experience at Mountford is Tangletoe Cidery, where traditional cider-making techniques meet organic cultivation. Using heritage apple varieties, the cidery produces distinct, small-batch ciders, a nod to Andrew and Sue Mountford’s time spent in Devon and Somerset. This cider collection complements their wines and adds an artisanal touch to the offerings on-site.

Visitors can enjoy the winery’s inviting two-storey gallery, showcasing a rotation of works by Western Australia’s best artists. The gallery and the winery’s scenic surroundings make Mountford Wines a memorable spot for art and wine lovers alike, with Tangletoe Cider rounding out the unique experience.
