De Beaurepaire Wines is a single-estate family winery founded in 1998 by Richard and Janet de Beaurepaire on shallow limestone soils at Rylstone, NSW — one of Australia's coldest inland wine sites, about three hours from Sydney. The estate farms regeneratively: no synthetic inputs, no-till soils and living cover crops, with a philosophy that "great wine is grown, not made." The wines are described as clean, elegant and old-world in structure, and have earned the winery Australian Wine of the Year (Winestate Magazine, 2018), a Halliday 5-Star rating (2024) and Best Small Cellar Door (Gourmet Traveller Wine, 2022). Note: De Beaurepaire is not formally certified organic but operates without synthetic inputs as a member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
