It is said that great wine is made in the vineyard and it is this philosophy that Matt & Jackie Jarvis strongly adhere to when producing their award winning Margaret River wines.
Located in the south west corner of Western Australia, Matt & Jackie searched the Margaret River wine region until they found the perfect property to plant their vines.
The Jarvis Estate vineyard is located on Wirring Road in the sub-region of Bramley. Conveniently located halfway between the Township of Margaret River and the village of Cowaramup, Jarvis Estate truly is in the heart of the Margaret River wine region.
The estate is also just 8 kilometres inland from the Indian Ocean. It is this close proximity to the ocean and its two seasonal currents that stabilize the temperatures, creating a warm climate with cool nights, slowing ripening period. The Mediterranean climate with cool winters and a slow ripening season enhances the fruit driven flavours in all our wines.
In addition to great weather conditions, Jarvis Estate is situated on some good dirt. The topsoils on the property are mungnite loams with clay on gravel sub soils. Combine this with the stability of the climate and fresh rain and winds from the Antarctic and you have a great, clean environment for growing grapes. 
Matt Jarvis is passionate about his grape vines. So much so he has built the family home in the middle of the vineyard to ensure he always knows what is happening with the precious crop.
All of the Jarvis Estate varieties being Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Verdelho are estate grown on the home vineyard. Matt has specialised growing systems for each variety of grapes, entailing individual planting methods and assorted fertilization, climatic and watering processes.
Personal tours of Jarvis Estate and complimentary wine tastings are available by contacting Matt and Jackie by telephone or email.
