Lost Lake Wines

Pemberton WA 6260
Australia
Established in 1990 in the picturesque valley of Eastbrook; Lost Lake Wines is owned and operated by the Masters Family who moved to the area in 2006. The 46 acre property produces premium cool climate Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot.
Lost Lake nestles in the valley of Eastbrook, an area identified by Dr John Gladstones (Senior Agronomist, Department of Agriculture, Western Australia) as being an excellent area for wine grape production due to the higher altitude and rich loamy/gravel soils. The area also receives higher than average rainfall and has long warm days with cool nights.
The 8ha vineyard is dry grown and produces around 50 tonnes of high quality fruit each year, all of which goes into the Lost Lake distinctive Ammonite label. Lost Lake specialises in the cool climate varieties of Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot, Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot.
The Lost Lake Winery is a soaring cedar and limestone building that incorporates the Winery and Cellar Door within the same area. The winery faces east to catch the morning sun with the Cellar Door protecting it from the afternoon sun so it remains cool during the summer months. Vintage is usually from late February through to the end of March though this can vary depending on the season.
The winery crushes approximately 50 tonnes of Estate grown fruit with a crush capacity of 150 tonnes. The 2011 vintage saw winemaker Katie Masters crush 65 tonnes for the Lost Lake label. The fruit was sourced predominantly from our vineyard, with a few select parcels coming in from vineyards in the surrounding area. Our red wines are matured predominantly in french oak and the chardonnay undergoes barrel fermentation and maturation also in french oak. The unoaked, aromatic whites are fermented in stainless steel tanks, as is our 'Honey Merlot', the perfect wine for those with a sweet tooth.
