Redbrook Vineyard, Winegrower, Margaret River

Redbrook Vineyard Winegrower Margaret River Story by Evans & Tate

When John Tate came across a promising piece of land on the bank of the Wilyabrup River, he didn’t have to look far to find the inspiration for its name.

The year was 1974 when Evans & Tate founders John Evans and John Tate discovered the site for their premier vineyard on the northern bank of the Wilyabrup River. John Tate’s beloved dog was a red-brown coloured daschund called Redbrook and this, a great companion for many winemakers, provided the inspiration for the vineyard’s name.

Evans and Tate’s Redbrook vineyard holds some of the oldest vines in Margaret River and remains the spiritual home of the winery. The vineyard has a history of producing wines of excellence, wines of benchmark regional style and importantly, wines of distinctive originality.

Today, Evans & Tate’s Redbrook range emulates the standard set by the original Redbrook vineyard. Winemaker Matthew Byrne blends select parcels of fruit from the region’s most outstanding vineyards to create wines of distinction and passion; wines that live and breathe the history of their namesake.
