Streicker Wines is a maker of award-winning premium wines located in the
Margaret River Region of Western Australia. Established in 2002 by John
Streicker with his original purchase of the Yallingup Protea Farm and
Vineyards, Streicker Wines today also encompasses two other vineyards,
Bridgeland and Ironstone, with a total of 153 hectares currently under vine.
Since the first significant planting of vines in 1967, the Margaret River Region
has grown to be regarded as one of the great wine-producing regions of the
world. The Margaret River appellation extends approximately 100 km from north
to south, and is about 32 km at its widest point.
The region is marked by the rolling hills of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge,
between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. To the west, the Indian Ocean
provides a dramatic boundary of cliffs, world-renowned surf and some of
Australia’s most pristine beaches.
Margaret River is a wine region of superior growing conditions with a
Mediterranean style climate. The region’s unique climate variations and soil conditions encourage the development of a
number of sub-regions each with their own micro-climate well suited to the
growing of specific varieties of grapes. Overall, the vineyards are not
affected by extreme summer and winter temperatures, and are warmed by the
Indian Ocean to the west and cooled by the Southern Ocean to the south.
Humidity levels are ideal during the growing period, and the combination of
climate, soil and innovative viticulture practices leads to consistently high
quality fruit of intense flavour, and to Margaret River’s growing reputation as one of the world’s premier wine producing regions.
