Houghton
Winery
Houghton
Winery is synonymous with Western
Australia. And Houghton wines, long
renowned for their high quality,
consistency and flavour, have been such
prolific trophy and medal winners that
they have earned Houghton the well
deserved title of Western Australia's most
awarded winery.
From its
magnificent homestead north of Perth,
Houghton embraces all the premium
winegrowing areas of Western Australia,
including the emerging Great Southern and
South West regions. Houghton has vineyards
in areas including Margaret River,
Pemberton, Frankland River, Mount Barker,
Gingin and Swan Valley.
The
Houghton commitment to winemaking
excellence ensures that the flavour and
character of its wines truly reflect the
individual characteristics, distinctive
landscapes and climates of these regions.
And the passion for making wines of great
flavour and character is the legacy of one
Houghton winemaker in particular. The
late, great Jack Mann.
