The property, being a perfect location just down the road from some very successful names with the coast-line only a stones throw away, was purchased by current owners Steve and Wendy Jacobs in 1995.

With Steve and Wendy's love of fine wine, they set out to find someone with whom they could share their passion. Guy and Chantal Gallienne had recently arrived in Margaret River attracted by the very high quality of wine made in the region. The work was proposed to them and with lengthy discussions, feasibility studies, land and soil analysis, an agreement was reached with a vision to produce top quality wines. The company was formed in 1997 at which point the final plans were put into place and the preparation commenced.

The two opposing slopes of the vale had been cleared for livestock, with the surrounding trees of the National Park providing wind protection. Around 15,000 native trees were‚ planted for further protection. The combination of an ideal climate and a soil structure perfect for vines clearly made the property an ideal site to establish a quality based vineyard. Guy and Chantal's son, Karl was at this point asked to join them to assist with the creation of Eagle Vale Estate.

By the end of 1998 the property witnessed a major transformation, ready just in time to plant the rootlings which came from carefully selected local cuttings. The next 3 years were spent shaping each individual vine to textbook perfection.
