Meet the Producers
of the Great Southern
Independent. Family Owned. Boutique. Iconic.
The people behind the wines, each with a story to tell.
Alkoomi Wines
Alkoomi is more than a winery—it is the Hallett family’s home, livelihood and legacy.
The property was purchased in 1946 by Vic and Netta Lange and began as a mixed grain and livestock farm. In 1971, their daughter Judy and her husband Merv Lange made the bold decision to plant one hectare each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling, together with smaller plantings of Shiraz and Malbec.
Express Winemakers
Express Winemakers captures the spirit of Mount Barker through carefully farmed vineyard sites, where old vines, granite-rich soils and Ryan’s hands-on approach come together in wines full of energy, honesty and place.
Ferngrove Wines
An expansive vineyard estate showcasing the scale and diversity of Frankland River, producing a broad range of styles with regional authenticity.
Frankland Estate
At Frankland Estate, the story is one of vision, family, and an unwavering respect for place.
Founded in 1988 by Judi Cullam and Barrie Smith, the estate was built on a belief that truly expressive wines begin with a deep understanding of the land.
Lange Estate
The Lange family’s agricultural heritage stretches across five generations in rural Western Australia. In 1997, that experience found a new expression when the family established its vineyard in Frankland River, one of the Great Southern’s most distinguished cool-climate wine regions.
