About Duke’s Vineyard
Duke’s Vineyard is an award-winning, ten-hectare vineyard in the cool-climate Great Southern wine region of Western Australia producing dry Rieslings, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The vineyard is a unique site that sits at the feet of the ancient granite Porongurup peaks and has views of the Stirling Range to the north. It is characterised by warm ripening days and cooler nights tempered with maritime breezes.
Duke and Hilde Ranson established the vineyard in 1999 and proceeded to garner many top wine awards including the Halliday Wine of the Year in 2019 for the 2017 Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling.
In 2022, they retired and handed the business to Winemaker Ben Cane and his partner, Sarah Date. Duke and Ben share the same passion to make beautiful wines from an exceptional terroir; have the same appreciation for cool climate wines; and like to have a lot of fun in the process of making, enjoying, and selling wine.
