Cape Grace Wines is a proudly small, family-run producer established in 1996 by Robert and Karen Karri-Davies on a 15-acre estate in Wilyabrup — one of Margaret River's most esteemed sub-regions. The vineyard is farmed with minimal sprays (naturally occurring sulphur and copper only), organic compost, and biodynamic inputs, though no third-party organic certification is claimed. The handcrafted wines — including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and a Crémant de Grace sparkling — are produced in tiny quantities (under 2,000 dozen annually), with reds hand-plunged and basket-pressed. Tastings are held in a characterful rustic tin shed cellar door set among forest.
