In 1978 Jeff and Wynn Gallagher purchased the property with a vineyard in mind and began the arduous task of clearing and preparing the land. The first cuttings were planted in 1982 and the first crush took place in 1987, the first winery building having been built the year before. At the end of 1999 when Jeff and Wynn decided to retire to Busselton and put Woody Nook on the market, Peter and Jane Bailey became the proud new owners in May 2000.
Tasting Note: This wine is a classic Margaret River blend consisting of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. It has a rich bouquet combining blackberry and bell pepper aromas. The palate is medium to full-bodied with plum and blackcurrant flavours enhanced by toasty oak. The soft tannins and finely balanced acidity not only give the wine great structure and palate length but also provide a cellaring potential of upwards of ten years.
