Wineries in the Porongurups

You can meet the people who grow the grapes as they take a hands-on approach to crafting their wine.
A distinct cool climate sub-region of the Great Southern, the exemplary wines are renowned for intense fruit flavours. Many awards have been bestowed on a range of wines from the area. The vineyards are located in beautiful surrounds with most boasting spectacular mountain views.
Castle Rock Estate
2015 James Halliday Winemaker of the Year | 2025 Ray Jordan Winemaker of the Year
Castle Rock Estate was established in 1983 on the slopes of the picturesque Porongurup mountains within the Great Southern region. Named after the imposing ‘Castle Rock’ that sits within the National Park, the vineyard was one of the earliest planted in the region.
Our elevated, easterly aspect ensures a long moderated growing season, ideal for growing Riesling and Pinot Noir, our signature grape varieties. These varieties are recognised for their ability to convey sense of place.

Our wines are 100% natural, made without the addition of chemicals or preservatives, the way we believe they are meant to be.
The varieties we have chosen to grow in specific locations according to the soil type ensure our wines will have excellent expressions of terroir ~ the French notion of how soil and micro-climate influence vines and form a wine’s character.

Shepherd’s Hut Wines
Established in 1996, a family business with a focus on quality over quantity
Our philosophy at Shepherd’s Hut is to produce high quality fruit for premium table wines. The emphasis is on quality before quantity and this is achieved through a no compromise approach to our viticultural management. The end yield per hectare is limited to levels that allow each variety to best develop its characteristic flavours.
We have 18ha under vines including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
