Arlewood Estate

Arlewood Estate was established in 1988 in the Willyabrup Valley of the Margaret River wine region in Western Australia.

The Gosatti family in partnership planted a small vineyard near Cowaramup in 1995, and acquired Arlewood Estate in 1999. In October 2005, The Gosatti Family completed an outright purchase of Arlewood to pursue the vision that is starting to crystalise with the release of some wines worthy of their situation.

The plantings at Arlewood include 17 year old Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon vines; 11 year old Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc; 10 year old Chardonnay, along with newer plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. The total area under vine is 15 hectares. Some recent developments on the property include expanded dam works and additional Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc plantings. Garry Gosatti has been extensively involved in the niche brewing and hospitality industries for many years. Wine has always played an integral role in his life and fluid levels (he is, after all, Italian).

Arlewood wines are made under contract utilising the facilities of world-class wineries such as Voyager Estate and Juniper Estate. Ian Bell of Moss Wood directs the critical vineyard practices. Terry Chellappah and Garry Gosatti market and sell the wines globally.

The combination of an excellent vineyard site coupled with some of the best people in the business harness the drive and passion the Arlewood partnership has. This formula promises to deliver Arlewood into the top echelon of Margaret River producers, through releases of fine, elegant wines that offer both power and finesse. Arlewood wines are available at our actual virtual cellar door (on the website), at cellar door (at the end of a lengthy driveway), at The Cowaramup Regional Wine Centre in CowTown and fine restaurants and at selected premium wine retailers only.

The team at Arlewood Estate is committed to the production of limited quantities of high quality wines made from ONLY estate grown fruit. The emphasis has always been on viticulture and the production of top quality wine grapes as a primary method of achieving this end. Particular attention is paid to pruning (cane rather than spur), vine nutrition, canopy management (through vertical shoot positioning), vine trimming and leaf plucking (ouch).

The vineyard employs minimal soil cultivation and is protected from bird damage by netting at harvest. Current production levels at Arlewood are 7000+ cases per annum, with plans to increase production another thousand cases of premium wine over the next few years.

The vineyard plantings are in four blocks, with rows planted at 3.3m widths and 1.5m vine spacing.
