At Rivendell we are dedicated to producing full flavoured wines of outstanding quality complementing the natural beauty of the property under the winemaking direction of James Pennington. We have many wine styles available within our range, both reds and whites, ranging from dry to medium sweet, and we also produce sparklings, a fortified and preservative elimination styles.
We offer 3 wine labels from our Cellar Door. "Wildwood of Yallingup", "Rivendell" and the premium releases under James' own signature range "Pennington".
James has almost 20 years’ experience in the wine industry including vineyard establishment, winemaking and wine show judging.
The focus at Rivendell is on the production of premium and ultra premium wines. James has produced over 50 award-winning wines at both national and international level shows. Rivendell’s aim is to produce exclusive, boutique wines of outstanding quality to be marketed through selected retail outlets, restaurants and directly to customers, through cellar door sales & mail order, ensuring personalised service and great value.
The grapes are grown in the sheltered valley high up on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge protecting them from the strong winds and capture the morning sunlight with the north-east exposure to allow early ripening. This, combined with free draining granite and laterite gravel soils creates a perfect microclimate for ripening grapes to their fullest flavour.
