Left Hook Wines

We’re Left Hook wines. Our name comes from one of our winemaker’s many hobbies - boxing... and like a left-hook in the ring, we like to think we’re surprising and can deliver a knock-out punch!

Our home is Margaret River and our vineyard is nestled smack dab in the middle of this premier wine making region. We’ve cultivated our little plot of land and only make wines from the varietals that truly thrive here.

Our winemaker, Rory Clifton-Parks is joined in his passion to make fantastic wines that reflect our unique area by industry veteran Franklin Tate (who having grown up in the wine biz is pretty committed to making a decent drop himself!).
Now, we could go on about Rory’s degrees (he has a couple - including Horticulture and Viticulture), his qualifications and experience (he did some time in the Napa Valley, worked as a winemaker for Evans & Tate and Boar’s Rock), the fact that he loves the Margaret River region because of its unique blend of fine wines, food and beachy culture (did we mention he also loves to surf?).
We could also tell you about why the region is amazing for making wine, from the cool Mediterranean climate to rich alluvial soils, but we’re not sure any of that is what you really want to hear...

We’re pretty sure at the end of the day, it’s all about what’s in the bottle and whether or not it leaves you smacking your lips and wanting more. Is it a good wine? Yes. We think it punches well above its weight class. Rest assured that we take a great amount of pride in what we do, that our clever little winemaker, Rory, is committed to making amazing wines and (lucky for us!) enjoys sharing them. Cheers!
