2005 saw the first vintage of wine bearing the Umamu name, after Charmaine Saw's parents fell in love first with the wines of Margaret River and then these particular vineyards
Charmaine notes that a sense of balance forms the basis of the Umamu winemaking philosophy.

Description
We consider the vineyards to be a whole ecosystem that includes the vines, soils, cover crops, insects, micro flora and native fauna which inhabit the land and reservoir. We believe that healthy, balanced grapevines, managed for the desired wine styles, yield high quality fruit. Attaining this balance in the vine requires that the ecosystem be in harmony and we work to achieve this in a sustainable manner.
Our Cabernet Merlot is also inspired by Bordeaux – specifically our dear friend Aunty May of ex-Chateau Pichon Longeville. - Umamu
