Duke's Vineyard

Duke's Vineyard Duke’s Vineyard is an award-winning family-run winery in the Great Southern region of Australia. As Duke likes to say, "Life is too short to drink bad wine!"

Duke's Vineyard is an award-winning vineyard in the cool climate Great Southern wine region of Western Australia, known for producing dry Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. In 1999 — starting on his 60th birthday — Duke planted the 25 acres of vines himself by hand. The first vintage in 2001 resulted in a gold medal and in 2019, he received 99 points and the James Halliday Wine of the Year A

ward for his 2017 Magpie Hill Riesling, a first for an Australian Riesling and the highest pointed white wine ever. The vineyard is a unique site that sits at the foot of the ancient granite Porongurup peaks, characterised by warm ripening days and cooler nights tempered with maritime breezes. The tasting room/cellar door was designed by Hilde, Duke’s artist wife, and is a perfect spot to take in the spectacular views of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges while sipping on the latest wine releases. A small gallery features exhibitions of artists who contribute to the Duke’s brand and story as well as some of Hilde’s original flora and fauna drawings. When Duke retired at 82 in April 2022, winemaker Ben Cane and his film/media/special events producer partner Sarah Date took over the property and brand. Their vision is to guide the existing premium wines to exciting new heights and add Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to the portfolio with additional plantings to occur in 2024 together with Riesling. Future plans include launching a wine club and introducing Duke's beautiful wines in very limited quantities to the USA, UK and Singapore markets.

International Cabernet Day | 3 September 🍷

Cabernet might just be our favourite grape 🙃

Perhaps a little bit of a dark horse here in the Porongurup, but that’s exactly what we love about it...

In our cool corner of the Great Southern, Cabernet takes on a different personality - elegant, sophisticated and beautifully restrained. Less about weight and power, more about fine tannins, bright fruit, length and detail.

You could almost call it an un-Cabernet Cabernet... Distinctly Porongurup. Distinctly Duke’s.

This International Cabernet Day, raise a glass to the dark horse. 🍷

Explore our Cabernet collection online, or come and taste with us at the cellar door.

We work hard… but we always find time for a little fun. 🍷

Come and spend some time with us in the Porongurup. Visit the cellar door, taste through the wines, have a game of boules and settle in for a while.

Come for a tasting. Stay for a glass.
And perhaps a game or two 😉

🍷 Big things are being bottled at Duke’s…

There’s been plenty happening behind the scenes in the winery, with some very exciting reds making their way into bottle.
We won’t give too much away just yet - but there are a few things coming that we think are well worth keeping an eye out for. 👀🍷

In the meantime, there’s plenty to explore from our current vintages, from Porongurup Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon to Riesling and more.

A grape worth celebrating 🍇🤩

Shiraz brings generosity, depth and character to the glass - dark fruit, fragrant spice, fine tannins and that unmistakable peppery detail.

It is a variety that responds beautifully to where it is grown. Here in the Porongurup, the cooler climate brings freshness and perfume alongside the richness, creating wines that are expressive, balanced and distinctly of this place.

At Duke’s, Shiraz gives us plenty to explore - from the concentration and refinement of Magpie Hill Reserve Shiraz to the aromatic, layered expression of The Whole Bunch Syrah - and not to mention our Invitational Range Shiraz-Riesling!

One grape. Many possibilities. Always a pleasure to pour.

Happy International Shiraz Day from Duke’s Vineyard. 🍷

A true sense of place is at the heart of Duke’s Vineyard.

Set at the foothills of the Porongurup Range, the vineyard is shaped by its cool climate, granite-derived soils, elevation and proximity to the Southern Ocean. These natural conditions allow the fruit to ripen slowly, helping to build freshness, balance and flavour while retaining the structure and clarity that define Porongurup wines.

But sense of place is not only about climate and soil. It is also about the wider
landscape - the shelter of the range, the open space, the changing seasons and the unique growing conditions of this small corner of the Great Southern.

Our aim is to make wines that reflect where they come from: distinctly Porongurup, carefully grown and true to the vineyard.

Visit us at the cellar door, open Friday to Monday from 11am to 4.30pm, and experience the place behind the wines.
