Stella Bella Wines is an Australian winery based at Margaret River, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia.
History
The winery was established in July 1996, when Stuart Pym, then a winemaker at Voyager Estate, and Janice McDonald leased a vineyard, with investor support.[1][2] Its first wines were produced during the 1997 vintage.[1]
By 2009, Australian wine writer James Halliday was rating the winery as one of the Margaret River region's best.[3]
Wines
Stella Bella has four brands. They range from Skuttlebutt, an everyday wine launched in 2004, through the classic Stella Bella and premium / ultra-premium Suckfizzle ranges, to the winery's most exalted brand, Series Luminosa, launched in 2010.[4]
