- The vineyard includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.
- Palandri's Margaret River vineyard includes some 28-year-old vines- some of the oldest vines in the region.
- The vineyard's Cabernet clones are some of the earliest in WA and were originally taken as cuttings from the Moss Wood vineyard in 1978.
- The vineyard is influenced by the West Coast Maritime climate characterised by mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers.
Harvey
- Harvey is approximately 150kms south of Perth. The flat terrain and a secure water licence for irrigation are the main features that make this region ideal for viticulture.
- The vineyard includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdello and Chenin Blanc varieties.
- Early sea breezes and high afternoon relative humidity play an important part in providing ideal ripening conditions.
- The region has the added benefit of being free from spring frosts, receiving reliable and ample winter/spring rainfall and having a ripening period which is dry and sunny.
Frankland River
- Palandri Wines has one of Western Australia's single largest vineyard sites at Frankland River.
- Located in Western Australia’s Great Southern, approximately 360 kilometres south of Perth, Frankland River is one of Australia’s fastest growing wine regions.
- The vineyard includes Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc varieties.
- Frankland River is a cool climate grape-producing region. The region experiences very few hot days and its average temperature is lower than most other wine grape producing areas of Australia.

- The soil of the Palandri Frankland River vineyard is more than two million years old and is very pebbly - much like the soil of Bordeaux.
