About Us

                                                                                 

Viticlone Supplies is the leading Western Australian grapevine nursery. Located in the Margaret River Wine Region

it provides quality planting material to the wine, table grape and dried fruit industries of Australia and abroad.

Viticlone proudly became the first vine nursery in Western Australia to achieve accreditation under the national

 VINE INDUSTRY NURSERY ACCREDITATION SCHEME in 2003.  It has successfully maintained accreditation

 which requires annual independant auditing of all nursery operations and record keeping.                                           

Operating since 1995, the nursery has modern facilities set on forty acres, providing a comprehensive range

of propagation products and services.

The nursery has planted a private `Library Collection' containing more than one hundred wine grape varieties

and clones. This collection will be continuously added to as new varieties and clones are introduced to

Western Australia, providing a valuable resource for industry into the future. Viticlone in partnership

with its sister company Seven Ochres Vineyard will be producing wine from some of these niche varieties

to be able to illustrate their potential.

Through the establishment of Viticlone's own rootstock source block, the nursery is able to utilise the highest

quality propagation material for the grafting process. Our grafted vines are produced by growing out rootstock cuttings

for one year in the field nursery,  grafting on the scion in the following year. and growing this on for one season.

The end result is an extremely robust grafted vine.  

Viticlone has access to an extensive range of varieties for propagation from private industry sources,

its own variety collection and multiplication rows, and the Western Australian Vine Improvement Association.

In 2007 Viticlone successfully exported grapevine budwood to India for a joint venture between a

Western Australian wine company and an Indian beverage company. In addition to sourcing the large quantity

of budwood, the process included submitting samples for extensive virus testing, co-ordinating all AQIS export

documentation and advising the client on the best method of transporting the propagation material to maintain

quality. Futher exports were successful to India in 2008 and to Indonesia in 2009.

International imports of new varieties by Viticlone will be made available to industry following multiplication

of mothervines at the nursery.

Viticlone has developed a  detailed Standard Operating Procedures Manual and has a  continuing commitment

to improving operations and services to the industry.
