Arimia is situated at the northern end of the Margaret River wine region near the surf and fishing beach of Mosesrock. Arimia is a combination of the names of owners Malcolm Washbourne and Ann Spencer’s two daughters Mia and Ariann. It is, like most Margaret River vineyards a family affair.
We particulary like their whites, especially the Mud Larks Sauvignon Blanc. Also worth checking out is their red blends, such as their Shiraz, Grenache, Mouvedre blend. Naturally you can find a good selection right here; mix a few in with your next mixed dozen. -
