Snake And Herring

Wine Tasting at Snake And Herring

Founded in 2011 by Redmond “Herring” Sweeny and Tony “Snake” Davis, Snake And Herring emerged from a shared passion for wine and a serendipitous meeting over a parcel of Porongurup Riesling. With backgrounds in wine industry, agriculture, and accounting, the duo embarked on a journey to express their vision of Western Australian wines through unique and adventurous vinification. The winery's approach is deeply rooted in the philosophy of exploring the viticultural treasures of the South West WA, crafting wines that reflect the diversity and richness of its terroir. This exploration has led to a dynamic range of wines, including riesling, sauvignon-blanc-semillon, and cabernet-sauvignon, among others, each a reflection of Snake and Herring's commitment to quality, sustainability, and minimal intervention.

At the core of Snake and Herring is a celebration of the South West's vineyards, with a focus on hand-picking, natural fermentation, and minimal additions to ensure the wines express their individual sites and styles with minimal winemaker influence. The partnership with diligent grape growers, who share the winery's dedication to sustainable practices, further underscores their commitment to producing wines that are not only delicious but also environmentally conscious. This ethos is complemented by the winery's unique approach to naming wines after songs that hold significance to them, adding a personal touch to their offerings.
