The release of the 2027 Halliday Wine Companion is always an exciting moment on the Australian wine calendar.
While every accolade is something to celebrate, for us the recognition means something more. It reflects the vineyard we call home, the dedication of our team, and the unique conditions that make Margaret River one of the world's great wine regions.
This year, we're proud to see a collection of Driftwood Estate wines recognised once again, led by our Single Site Chardonnay and Single Site Cabernet Sauvignon; two wines that capture the very best of our Wilyabrup vineyard.
The Margaret River Difference
Our vineyard sits in the heart of Wilyabrup, a sub-region renowned for its gravelly soils, cooling Indian Ocean breezes and Mediterranean climate. Together, these natural elements create ideal conditions for producing wines of elegance, balance and remarkable longevity.
Our Single Site Range celebrates the finest vineyard blocks at Driftwood Estate.
Handpicked in Wilyabrup and matured in French oak, these small-batch, limited-release wines capture the unique personality of each site and the season in which it was grown.
