If you've seen a bottle of Willespie, you've seen our leaves. Two Redgum leaves, drawn in gold, sit quietly beside the name. They're simple enough that you might not think twice about them. But like most things at Willespie, there's more going on than meets the eye.

The Redgum, or Marri (Corymbia calophylla), is one of the most iconic trees in the Margaret River region and has always been part of the landscape here. These trees have lined the property and the wider region for far longer than any vineyard has. They're woven into the place in ways that are easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

That eucalyptus character you'll sometimes find in our Cabernet? That's the Marri. The blossoms that appear around vintage time, drawing the birds to nectar instead of our grapes? That's the Marri too. It's a quiet, give-and-take relationship between vine and land that's been going on here for nearly fifty years. We don't manage it. We just benefit from it.

Look closely at the brandmark, and you'll notice the leaves aren't perfect. They're drawn partly decomposed, and that's intentional. Growth, decay, renewal. It's how viticulture works. It's how agriculture works. It's the rhythm of every season at Willespie, and it felt right to capture that rather than something polished and pristine.

The leaves were illustrated by artist Henryk Szydlowski, and wherever possible, they appear in gold - a nod to the Wilyabrup light and the warmth of the place they represent.

They're not just a logo. They're a reminder that everything we do here starts with the land.
