The history of Evans & Tate dates back to 1971, when John Evans and John Tate first planted vines in Western Australia’s Swan Valley. Three years later, they acquired land in Wilyabrup, in the heart of the Margaret River region, where they established the Redbrook vineyard. In 1987, the first Evans & Tate Margaret River wine was released. Located just a three-hour drive south of Perth, Margaret River is one of Australia’s—and the world’s—most remote and renowned winegrowing regions. Nestled beside the Indian Ocean, the region offers ideal conditions for viticulture. Its proximity to the ocean, ancient soils, and Mediterranean climate contribute to the consistent quality of its wines. Warm, dry summers are tempered by afternoon sea breezes, while mild winters provide a stable environment for vine growth. Wilyabrup, in particular, is acclaimed for producing some of Australia’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The Redbrook vineyard is a prime example, spanning 20 hectares and home to some of the oldest vines in the region, now over 40 years old.
