<p>Family-owned and operated, Jilyara is located in Wilyabrup, in the heart of the Margaret River wine region. The Cotterell family put down roots when the vineyard was planted in 1996. Today, these maturing vines sit on a north-south slope amongst undulating valleys, shielded from the elements by a nature reserve. The nine-hectare vineyard is worked by Craig, from mulching to pruning to netting, with minimal use of contract plant keeping the volume low, all the better to hear the rolling of the surf and the buzzing of bees.</p>
