Juniper was established by the late Roger Hill and his wife Gillian Anderson with the intention of producing wines which rank among the best to come from Wilyabrup and beyond. Wilyabrup has established itself since the late 1960s as the most successful sub-region of Margaret River, particularly for red wines. When the vineyard was planted in 1973 (under its original guise of Wright's), it was one of only six Margaret River wine producers (along with Vasse Felix, Cape Mentelle, Cullen, Moss Wood and Woodlands).
"The label has been given an upgrade; it's smart-looking, better, and the wine is in top form. This is super steely, fine and zesty, with ultra-refreshing acidity that adds as much length as line. Plenty of stuffing, though, with lemon balm and Meyer lemon, and a touch of tropical fruit that tends towards pineapple. A fine layer of creamy lees fleshes out the palate a tad and adds a savoury tone. Ultimately, a pared-back style, highly appealing and moreish." 95pts | Jane Faulkner | Halliday Wine Companion
