Nestled in the picturesque Frankland River wine region within the Great Southern area, our vineyard flourished amidst landscapes renowned for producing premium-quality fruit, particularly Shiraz and Riesling. Situated at an elevation of nearly 300m, a rarity in Western Australia’s viticultural landscape, and blessed with red jarrah gravel loam soils, our vineyard yields wines of exceptional intensity.
Our Story | Lange Estate
The Lange family’s agricultural heritage spans five generations in rural Western Australia. This tradition thrives in Frankland River, where the Lange’s vineyard took root in 1997 under the stewardship of the family. Today, Kim and Chelsea, their children Jack, Ella and Dylan, alongside Don and Maxine, oversee the vineyard’s operations.
Stretching along Western Australia’s southern coast, the Great Southern captivates with its pristine ocean, rugged coastline, and stunning natural vistas, including the ancient Stirling and Porongurup Ranges. This region hosts a diverse array of flora and fauna, including migrating whales and vibrant wildflowers.
The Great Southern boasts five distinct subregions – Albany, Denmark, Frankland River, Mount Barker, and Porongurup – each characterised by unique geomorphological and climatic features. These subregions produce fine wines celebrated for their quality, benefiting from the region’s cool climate and pristine environment.
