Windy Creek Estate, formally Cobanov Wines was first established in 1937 by Anthony Cobanov. He had left Croatia in 1924 and spent 13 years cutting sleepers in the south-west to enable him to put a deposit on this Swan Valley property. In 1937 he bought the fertile Swan Valley property that is still the core of the family business and sent for his wife and sons. Tony's father Steve arrived as a teenager in 1938.

They grew grapes for dried fruit production but made a small amount of wine for the Perth immigrant community. The Windy Creek label was first released in 1980 but the winery's actual name changed, after a two and half year battle with Debortoli's (Windy Peak), in 2000. The family has continued to produce wines for 70 years and we have been selling fruit to other wineries for approximately 25 years.

Tony makes a variety of different wines.
Please select a variety for more information and please come in and taste them for yourself.

	2010 Sauvignon Blanc It has finally arrived, a Swan Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Pale straw with a green rim. The nose is dominated by tropical aromatics. A crisp and lively palate is characterised by passionfruit, honeydew melon and gooseberry. Qualities that carry through to a lengthy, mouth filling finish. $12 bottle $120 dozen
	2009 Chardonnay This exceptional Swan Valley Chardonnay has an attractive citrus floral aroma, which  is complemented by its great depth and elegance of flavour and a crisp, well balanced finish. This wine may be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for up to three years to develop its full potential. $12 bottle $120 dozen
	2010 Premium Classic Dry White This Swan Valley wine, matured and blended to a traditionally high standard, has been made from specially selected fruit, resulting in an attractive, delicate, medium weight on the palate, with complex flavours and a well balanced finish. $10 bottle $100 dozen
	2010 Chenin Blanc A fragrant Swan Valley Chenin, exhibiting lingering tropical and citrus flavours on the palate, leading to a dry, crisp finish. Exceptionally pleasing as a “drink now” style. $12 bottle $120 dozen
	2010 Autumn Harvest Produced from late-picked Chenin and Verdelho grapes grown on our Windy Creek vineyard. The grapes were allowed to reach maturity on the vine before being hand picked and carefully cold fermented to retain full flavour, allowing the resulting wine to retain some residual sugar. $10 bottle $100 dozen

Windy Creek Estate are also becoming well known for their popular range of "Wicked Stepmother's" jams and marmalades, and occasionally chutneys and pickles. Home made by Ruth's real stepmother Wendy Barlow, all the conserves are made with local fruit and vegetables. Wendy is always looking for new combinations and recipes and some of our unusual varieties are "tomato and passionfruit", "cumquat orange and ginger", "muscat grape" (made with Windy Creek muscat of course!), and even a banana jam. We also have everyone’s favourites - fig, strawberry and orange whisky.
