In 1990, vineyard founder Brian Edwards piloted his 1943 Tiger Moth Matilda across the world from England to Australia in what became one of the epic solo flights in the annals of aviation and an epic journey for charity.

It was the flight of a passionate man and his redoubtable flying machine. His epic flight ended in Perth, and he and his wife Jenny purchased land in nearby Margaret River to begin another journey, planting and building the Edwards estate and their family

Today Matilda holds pride of place at our Margaret River Cellar Door as a reminder that there is no limit to what can be accomplished through passion, determination and if the heart is right.

Brian’s pioneering presence and passion to reach for the sky lives on through the award-winning wines produced at Edwards. Our Wine is a tribute to both of them.

With Edwards being located in the heart of the Margaret River region, our planted grape varieties thrive owing to the region’s exceptional blend of Mediterranean climate, proximity to the ocean, and diverse soil types. This synergy results in a long growing season, ensuring the grapes ripen evenly, leading to the production of high-quality wines.

Our first vintage in 1999 was produced by Brian’s eldest son and winemaker, Michael, who oversaw the wine making for 17 years.

At present, our estate-grown fruit is expertly handcrafted into wine by Jonothan Mettam, who draws on his 30 years of experience and combines both traditional and contemporary winemaking techniques. Each wine has a signature of the harmonious balance attained in the vineyard, and that harmony is continued in the winery through gentle processing, careful selection of oak, and meticulous attention to detail. These exquisite wines are now being enjoyed throughout Australia and all around the world.
