The Pater Series pays homage to the legacy of five generations of fathers and their rare unbroken chain of succession. Their toil, innovation and diversity shaped the land from its native bush into a family farm on which Aylesbury Estate now resides, capturing the essence of the Ferguson Valley in every bottle.
Crafted from select premium parcels from Aylesbury Estate vineyards, the Pater Series epitomises elegance, power and finesse in a modern style that reflects the rich heritage of the land. Over 130 years of farming knowledge and experience combined with the rolling hills and cool breezes on the estate have produced this series of wines that are complex and true to their unique environment.
Each bottle represents the pinnacle of our winemaking craft, showcasing the exceptional quality of our fruit and the meticulous attention to detail in our production process. Only the highest-grade sections are selected to create these limited-volume wines.
Our Pater Series Chardonnay epitomises the classic style favoured by afficionados of old-school Chardonnays. Powerful, oaked and full-malo, it embodies the rich terroir of our site, offering a serious, rich and powerful expression that is sure to captivate discerning palates.
For Cabernet, our vineyards situated 100 kilometres north of Margaret River, renowned for its Cabernet, yield outstanding wines that stand apart from the dense blue fruits characteristic of Margaret River. Instead, our Pater Series Cabernet offers classic traits on both the nose and palate, with notes of tomato leaf and bramble, showcasing the distinctive terroir of our region.
As we look to the future, we anticipate expanding our Pater Series with exciting new varietals that will each be crafted with the same level of care and precision. With volumes typically ranging from 350 to 450 dozen each year, our Pater Series wines are a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
