Collection: Higher Plane

Higher Plane, based in the Forest Grove subregion of southern Margaret River, crafts wines defined by elegance and "less is more" winemaking. Founded in 1997 and now under the stewardship of the Hill family (of Juniper Estate), the boutique property utilizes high-density planting on ancient, gravelly soils to achieve intense fruit character with natural, cool-climate restraint. The estate is managed with a strong commitment to sustainability, incorporating organic principles, solar power, and rainwater harvesting to ensure the land's health for future generations.

The Higher Plane portfolio offers a modern, often unconventional take on the Margaret River region. While their Chardonnay and Fumé Blanc focus on bright primary fruit and textural complexity over heavy oak, the winery also champions alternative varieties like Fiano and Tempranillo. Their red wines, including Syrah and Malbec, are frequently celebrated for their juicy, energetic profiles—often enhanced by low-intervention techniques like carbonic maceration. This dedication to site-specific purity and innovative styles makes Higher Plane a standout for those seeking a fresh perspective on Western Australian wine.
