Established in 1975 by Merilyn and Graham Hutton, Gralyn Estate was one of the first names in Margaret River wine.
Now under the stewardship of their daughter Annette Baxter and her husband Scott, Gralyn Estate continues its decades-long journey. As viticulturists and winemakers, they produce premium wines and fortifieds from mature, non-irrigated vines.
Wines are exclusively available at Gralyn Estate’s landmark cellar door, situated on Caves Road in Wilyabrup. The cellar door is open daily for tastings, sales, and bespoke experiences.
Gralyn Estate has been awarded numerous gold medals and trophies at both national and international wine shows. The winery was selected to feature in Qantas First Class international inflight service, and in 2013, Winestate Annual Magazine judged its wines equal to renowned Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux, including Château Latour and Château Mouton Rothschild. Internationally revered wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr. described Gralyn’s Cabernet Sauvignon as “one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons I have ever tasted from Margaret River."
