Galafrey Wines has never planned to be the biggest vineyard. We’ve always just focussed on being the best.
Our quest began in 1977 when we established an estate vineyard in Mt Barker, 350kms south of Perth. We were one of the pioneer winemakers in the Great Southern region, an area now famous for it’s cool climate and premium quality wine production.
You may note that our old vines are not irrigated; something quite unusual in these days of mass commercial production. We prefer low-yielding wine crops with small berries. Although it limits our volume, having smaller fruit fosters an intensity of the flavour, with most of the colour and tannin of the grape being concentrated in or near the skin.
The characteristically cool climate of the district ensures slow ripening of the grapes, which also allows for the development of rich flavour and quality grape juice.
Galafrey Wines is committed to producing fruit of the highest quality, with a philosophy that quality fruit is the key to winemaking excellence.
Galafrey Wines remains a family-owned business and all wines are grown, nurtured and bottled on the estate. Established by Ian Tyrer (1946-2003), Galafrey is survived by mother and daughter team, Linda and Kim Tyrer.
Linda and Kim maintain a hands-on role to ensure that the Galafrey philosophy is upheld.
Galafrey's impressive cellar door boasts breathtaking views of the vines and surrounding bushland. Come and meet Henry, the winery dog, who will greet you at the car park and escort you to the door. And, most importantly, enjoy the taste that is Galafrey Wines.
Today, Galafrey has twelve hectares under vine consisting of Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Merlot Grapes. We are also growing Muller-Thurgau, a unique white grape variety that produces a light, flavourful, fruity grape that’s low in acid.
