Skigh Wines, established in 2016 by Skigh McManus, has quickly carved out a niche in the Margaret River wine scene by sourcing fruit from exceptional sites within the region and extending to the Geographe wine region. Operating from an 8-hectare lease vineyard in Yallingup Hills, Skigh's journey in winemaking spans over 30 harvests across diverse wine-producing regions including New Zealand, Canada, America, Spain, France, and Western Australia. This vast experience, coupled with a commitment to creating wines that are balanced, drinkable, and reflective of their terroir, defines Skigh Wines' philosophy. The winery focuses on gentle, spontaneous ferments with indigenous yeasts, minimal interventions, and low sulphur at bottling to produce vegan-friendly wines that are vibrant, approachable, and express a sense of place.
The wines crafted under the Skigh label encompass a range of styles, including fume-blanc, pinot-noir, chardonnay, and syrah, among others. Each wine is a testament to Skigh's dedication to balance and drinkability, utilizing practices that allow the natural character of the fruit to shine through. This approach has led to the creation of wines that are not only enjoyable to drink but also share a unique story of the Western Australian landscape and Skigh's personal winemaking journey.
