Driftwood Estate
Driftwood Estate is an Australian winery at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. Established by Tom and Helen Galapoulos in 1989 on what had previously been a country retreat,[1][2] the winery immediately received acclaim when its first wine, a semillon produced in 1993, won a special commendation in a British competition.[2] In 2009, leading Australian wine writer James Halliday rated Driftwood Estate as one of the best wineries in the Margaret River region.[3]
