Our vineyard is looking vibrant in its final stages of flowering and in the next few weeks we will see berry formation. 

Organically and sustainably farmed, using regenerative techniques and microbiology we nurture and enhance our soil to build resilient vines. Our vineyard has never looked better. Biologically active soils interact with the vines roots to supply mineral needs on demand to improve overall crop nutrition. We see this at harvest time in the flavour and intensity of our fruit. Great wine really does start in the vineyard. Watch our latest video...

Our 2001 Shiraz Cabernet has done it again! Equal top wine in The World’s Greatest Shiraz Challenge in the latest issue of Winestate Magazine.
[September 2021]

This award winning shiraz blend has aged gracefully - achieving 5 Stars and 98 points in both The 2015 and 2021 World's Greatest Shiraz Challenge. In the latest competition it was equal top to Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace - a great accolade for an 'aged' Margaret River wine from one of the region's smallest, but most highly regarded boutique wineries.

Our Vintage Port has a long history… When we first opened our doors in 1978, our ports were a big hit with the surfing and fishing community. Gralyn was the first stop for many in their search for ‘something special’ along the raw and untamed Leeuwin-Naturaliste coast.

Vintage Port has the ability to age for many years in the bottle.  We have cellared each and every vintage dating back to 1978, preserving a piece of Margaret River wine history.

Our current release is the 2018 Vintage Fortified, (image below) made from Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Inky crimson in colour with a complex bouquet and silky palate of mulberry and blackberry.

Get in touch if you are seeking a special vintage year. We have a comprehensive back catalogue of wines available... info@gralyn.com.au 

Vivid dark crimson in colour, fragrant with black fruits, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is elegant and vibrant with spice, blackberry, ripe plum and cherry flavours. Fine savoury tannins support a long, persistent finish. 

This is a remarkable wine produced from a small estate planting of 0.75ha. Established in 1975 these old vines have been producing award winning cool climate Margaret River Shiraz for many years. Organic vineyard practices and increased soil microbiology is rewarding us with Shiraz in perfect balance.

Available to taste and purchase from our Cellar Door or online via our website.

It was a wild ride to the finish line here in Margaret River!

We harvested our Cabernet Sauvignon over the weekend of the 9th and 10th of April with multiple cyclones brewing off the north west coast. We were fortunate to have our fruit in good condition, with full flavour and ripe tannins ready for harvest. We assembled a small team of locals to assist with our handpick and conditions couldn't have been better, it was clear skies and sunshine until the last bucket was lifted. Cyclone Seroja ended up crossing the coast the following evening, bringing 58mm of rain to the estate over 24hrs. The region experienced one of its most abrupt ends to vintage we can recall. We are very thankful to all those who helped us wrap up vintage 2021.

The Wilyabrup Valley is a place of unparalleled beauty where the forest meets the sea.

We have been farming this land since 1968. The Wilyabrup brook carves its way through the property and offers a vital source of water for the farm and habitat for wildlife.

In 1975 we established a 4.5ha vineyard. The vines are now mature - forty five years old, non-irrigated and planted on some of the finest gravelly loam soils in the Wilyabrup region.

The quality of the fruit being produced is exceptional, with organic vineyard practices producing grapes with perfect balance, intense flavour and fine ripe tannins - essential building blocks for great wine.
