Byron & Harold
After 60 years in the fine wine business, we proudly put our names on the Byron & Harold label as our solemn pledge to discover, curate, and share the wines we adore with all who appreciate the romance, history, and sheer pleasure fine wine brings to a shared meal.

Byron & Harold Wines
We have elected to establish ourselves in Western Australia, with a particular focus on the Margaret River and Great Southern regions. These areas are among a select few wine-producing regions in Australia that benefit from a genuine cool climate, thanks to our southerly latitudes and the strong influence of the surrounding oceans on our vineyards.
Paul Byron and Harold (Ralph) Dunning firmly believe that exceptional winemaking originates in the vineyard. They meticulously seek out parcels of Western Australian fruit that they genuinely believe wine enthusiasts desire to savour. These are wines brimming with flavour, true to their varietal nature, and bearing the distinct provenance that reflects the exceptional Margaret River region and the remarkable vineyards of the Great Southern. Accolades will continue to come their way with excellent reviews from Wine Companion & Ray Jordan.

Summer in the Vineyard
Summer is a crucial time in this process, as the vineyards of Margaret River and Great Southern prepare for their annual vintage. Timing the harvest is vital; picking too late can expose grapes to the intense February heat, jeopardising the essential acidity that ensures freshness and structure in the final wine. Conversely, harvesting too early might compromise flavour intensity, as some grape varieties need additional time to achieve full ripeness. Thanks to Rory and his team’s expertise, we can harvest at just the right moment, capturing the grapes at their peak of ripeness and balance.
While summer is a bustling season for our wineries, it also offers a delightful experience for visitors to the region. Long, sun-drenched days and pleasant evenings create the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities and alfresco dining. People from around the globe come to enjoy these experiences and explore the local offerings.
