Discover highly original, intriguing small-batch, 'lo-fi' wines made from a mix of rare and classic varietals at this new-gen winemaker and urban cellar door in Margaret River town.
Amato Vino are small-batch artisan winemakers based in the Margaret River wine region, Western Australia. The winemaking philosophy is lo-fi, in that they embrace wild ferments, minimal adjustments in the winery, and gentle handling. Wines are typically unfined and unfiltered. They are hands-on in terms of the grunt work, the care and guidance, but with a hands-off approach to the science of winemaking, using little or no inputs and employing traditional processes. An old-school approach yet with a modern flare for creativity and adventure.
Established in 2003 by owner/winemaker Brad Wehr, the labels and wine styles have continued to grow, covering traditional Margaret River varietals through to some eclectic and unusual grape varieties and winemaking methods.
Their winery is located a few minutes southwest of the Margaret River township. They work with a core group of independent growers who share their philosophy, employing organic and sustainable farming practices.
