South by South West

Located just 4kms off Bussel Highway, north of Witchcliffe village, South by Southwest is worth the drive. Some excellent wines to try, with a Sicilian flavour. The wine tasting fee of $15 is steep, even for Margaret River. And we were very disappointed to find that even when you buy a bottle of wine the tasting fee is not waived. I understand why fees were introduced. Yet, most wineries play fair and if you buy wine the fee is waived. Not here. Whilst we enjoyed the wines, this lack of fairness puts us off repeat visits. This is our 60th cellar door in the region and I can count on one hand how often this happens.

They craft terroir and vintage driven wines that combine respect for the land, the methods the grapes are farmed by, and how they are handled in the winery. Mij’s attention lies in the vineyard side of the operation by managing their naturally farmed vineyard in the Wallcliffe subregion, as well as working with a team of loyal growers in the south west to source additional fruit. Liv’s focus is on the winemaking side which is motivated by making expressive wines that are true to vineyard, true to vintage, and tasty.

Such a fantastic winery - we had the absolute pleasure of a tasting with the winemaker, Liv, who was generous with her time and knowledge. She makes primarily Italian varietals, drawing on her Sicilian heritage, and honestly, every wine we tasted was bang on. It’s a little off the beaten track but do yourself a favour and drive out there - you won’t be disappointed.
