Eagle Vale
Eagle Vale produces wines from Margaret River, Western Australia's premier cool-climate region. The winery focuses on two signature varieties: Chardonnay and Shiraz. The Whispering Lake Chardonnay Reserve, rated 93 by Wine Spectator, represents the upper tier of the portfolio, while a standard Chardonnay at 89 points offers entry to the range. The Reserve Shiraz, scoring 90 points, showcases the dark-fruit intensity and structure that define Margaret River's Shiraz tradition. Margaret River's maritime climate—moderated by Indian Ocean influences—creates conditions suited to both cool-climate white wines with tension and structure, and red wines with ripe fruit and fine tannins. Eagle Vale's focus on these two varieties reflects the region's strengths and the winery's commitment to depth within a defined range.
