Pristine isolation. Ancient terrain. A remarkable coastline with a Mediterranean climate. These three elements make Margaret River one of the world’s great wine regions.

Positioned on a cape and surrounded by the Indian and Southern oceans on 3 sides, the region backs onto desert. The Leeuwin current flows warm from the north and the constant cooling ocean breezes provide gradual gentle ripening conditions against a terroir of red ochre, granite and gravel loam.

Tall forests tower over colourful wildflowers and pristine white beaches are hugged with native scrub. A wild surf coast meets verdant forest and beyond the stacks of granite boulders lie these exceptional wineries. Here the soil and vineyards are treated as a living ecosystem and the link between plant growth and rhythms of the cosmos is celebrated. A place of minimal intervention. Where nature speaks for itself.

Top: mandarin, lime, kelp, flint (accord), curry leaf (accord)

Heart: Native honey myrtle, native fragonia, linden blossom, violet leaf

Base: native Western Australian sandalwood, treemoss

Everything from the Agrarian Kitchen begins in the garden. That was the starting point for this scent, the sweet earthy aroma of rich healthy soil. Treemoss, cedarwood and birch tar provide the foundation and the hint of smokiness is a small nod to the grill and hot smoker where faint white plumes are always in gentle attendance.

At its heart, this is a distinctly robust and savoury scent. Vegetables are the star attraction, with notes from carrot seed, bitter fennel and a rhubarb accord. There’s freshness from the citrus top notes of bergamot and orange which are paired with the comforting warmth of rosemary and the crisp spice of cardamom and ginger.

The soul of this candle is a deep, savoury, hands in the soil scent that pays homage to one of the nation’s leading culinary institutions that combines an exceptional kitchen garden, cooking school and restaurant.
