Firetail is a small Western Australian producer with vines at Rosa Glen in Margaret River, planted in 1983, and an estate in the Geographe region. Rosa Glen is particularly suited to Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, and since 2009 Firetail has made a small, select Semillon Sauvignon Blanc from the old vines.
The first Cabernet Sauvignon came in 2008 after the 1983 vines were reworked, and a premium Merlot has been made from the Geographe estate since 2003, along with a Rosé and a late-harvest botrytis dessert wine, Just Desserts.
In early 2010 Firetail opened a small, handcrafted cellar door at its Rosa Glen vineyard, built with local jarrah and French oak from its own barrels.
