Plantagenet was the first winery in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia. The winery has developed an enviable reputation for producing elegant wines with complexity, finesse and balance since 1975.
Plantagenet takes its name not only from its home, but also from its heritage. In 1968 in a stroke of serendipity English migrant Tony Smith, himself a descendent of the Plantagenet's, invested his small inheritance in a farm called Bouverie in Western Australia's Plantagenet Shire.
He first planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Riesling three years later.
The first wines from these young vines were tight and lean and showed the elegant spice and fruit characters for which this area was to become known.
Tony's vision proved an astute one.
