Less intervention. More terroir.
Great wine is grown, not made.
Farming for the next generation.

We’re a family-run, single-estate vineyard in Rylstone, NSW—one of Australia’s coldest inland sites, on shallow limestone soils. We farm regeneratively to nurture soil life and build long-term resilience, then intervene minimally in the winery so our terroir can speak clearly in every vintage. The result: clean, elegant, age-worthy wines—old-world in structure and sensibility—honest, table-ready, and built to evolve over time.

ESTABLISHED IN 1998

ESTABLISHED IN 1998

Established in 1998 by Richard and Janet de Beaurepaire, our family grows and makes wine from our 55-hectare single-estate vineyard in Rylstone, NSW — just three hours from Sydney, above the Cudgegong River with the Blue Mountains rising behind.

Some of our family has made wine in the Yarra Valley since 1970 (and some still do in Burgundy and Rhône Valley), but we chose this ancient, limestone-rich site with shallow sandy soils and an ultra-cool inland climate because it felt like home — the closest thing Australia has to Burgundy.

The vineyard stretches almost two kilometres along the slopes. It’s a beautiful, demanding place that naturally shapes wines of finesse and longevity. We farm regeneratively and keep our touch light in the winery so the place itself can shine.

GREAT WINE IS GROWN, NOT MADE

GREAT WINE IS GROWN, NOT MADE

We believe the vineyard comes first. Everything we do — regenerative farming with living cover crops, no synthetic inputs, no-till soils, and biodiversity at the centre — is designed to build healthy, resilient soil that will still be thriving for the next generation.

In the winery we stay deliberately restrained so the terroir can speak clearly. The result is honest, elegant, food-loving wines that express their vintage and their place.

We are a Member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
