Set beneath the ancient granite peaks of the Porongurup, Castle Rock Estate is one of the region’s benchmark producers, crafting elegant, site-driven wines with purity, finesse and a strong sense of place.

Wines are crafted by Andrew Vesey, whose approach to winemaking is guided by intuition, experience, and a deep respect for site. His philosophy is simple yet exacting: when the vineyard is in balance, gentle winemaking is enough. Fermentation and maturation are handled with restraint, allowing purity, subtle texture, and clarity of place to emerge without interference. These are wines patiently nurtured, rather than shaped.

Set against the ancient granite slopes of the Porongurup, Duke’s Vineyard has long been recognised as one of the benchmark producers of Riesling in the Great Southern.

Founded by Duke and Hilde Ranson, the estate quickly earned a reputation for crafting wines of remarkable purity, precision and mineral character.

Express Winemakers captures the spirit of Mount Barker through carefully farmed vineyard sites, where old vines, granite-rich soils and Ryan’s hands-on approach come together in wines full of energy, honesty and place.

A simple philosophy: quality over quantity.

A principle that shapes everything from the vineyard to the bottle, with a focus on crafting wines that reflect both place and intention.
