The Gould Family

Knotting Hill Estate is 100% family operated business and owned by the Gould family. With Brian Gould as the Managing Director of the business and Michael Gould his son as the Vineyard Manager, together they oversee all aspects of the 70Ha Estate. 

It all started when Brian Gould began farming when he was 16 years old and from there grew to build a large successful central wheat belt farming operation in Wongan Hills, located 240km North East of Perth in Western Australia. Having this long farming history in Western Australia, helped the Gould family begin their Margaret River journey in 1997 when they purchased the estate.

Many visitors ask how the Knotting Hill Estate name was derived and it’s a simple but intelligent story that relates back the figure eight knot that has been used extensively throughout the vineyard trellising. Many people thought it was because we came from Notting Hill in England.
The figure eight knot has now become our logo.

The family structure is extremely important to the Gould family and they have embraced that culture and implemented this into their business. “Our philosophy is very much about listening to the land and realising our connection that we have with it” Brian Gould.
