Drakesbrook Wines is a family owned and run vineyard and winery in the Peel Region of Western Australia and is adjacent to the picturesque Lake Naverino dam in Waroona, located less than 2 hours from Perth.
Drakesbrook wine varieties have been carefully selected and planted based on the climate and soil that is unique to the location of the vineyard.
While Chenin Blanc was the first variety to be planted and Shiraz considered to be the flagship variety of the area, Drakesbrook wines are producing some award winning wines from non traditional varieties.
