Three Generations of Winemakers
We are an established boutique family owned and run winery, which consistently produces small batch, exceptional, full-flavoured wines.
Our aim is to reflect the unique qualities of the Swan Valley and Pemberton wine regions of Western Australia.
Our Swan Valley vineyards focus on the production of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. In Pemberton the cooler climate and soils of gravelly loam allows us to grow quality Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
The winery has a unique blend of old and new, reflecting the more than 100 years that we have been established. On the way to the below ground cellar door, visitors walk past the aromatic liqueurs and red wines aging in oak barrels.
Our wines all share a common theme; being flavoursome, balanced, soft and dry. We do not use excess oak as we believe that oak should only play a small part in the make-up of the wine, to ensure they best express their varietal character.
All our wines are made and bottled on the premises from Kosovich estate grown hand-picked grapes.

Current release
John Kosovich Wines Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc
A lovely expression of Chenin showing slight apple crunch and subtle spicy tones. Wonderful complex flavours on the palate and great texture gives this wine plenty. Tight, green apple acid structure balances up the wine and ensures fantastic cellaring potential. Look for 10 years plus cellaring to develop toasty, lemony bottle aged characters that this variety is renowned for. Great to pair with cheeses, seafoods or roast chicken
