Galafrey
Galafrey Wines is one of Mount Barker’s enduring family wineries, with a history that reaches back to the pioneering years of the Great Southern. The winery has built its reputation on dry-grown fruit, hands-on family involvement and wines that reflect the cool climate, gravelly soils and quiet confidence of the region. Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz sit at the heart of the range, while varieties such as Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir add another layer to the Galafrey story.
About Galafrey Wines
A family winery with deep roots in Mount Barker
Galafrey was founded by Ian and Linda Tyrer, and over the decades it has remained very much a family story. There is a sense of continuity here that gives the winery real character. It is not simply a label with regional credentials, but a producer shaped by long-term commitment to place, family and the practical realities of growing and making wine in Mount Barker.
Dry-grown fruit and a strong sense of place
The Galafrey vineyard is dry-grown, and that approach remains central to the identity of the wines. In a cool-climate area such as Mount Barker, that combination of site, season and careful vineyard work helps produce wines with brightness, structure and genuine regional character. It also gives Galafrey a style that feels honest and grounded rather than overworked.
Kim Tyrer and the next generation
A major part of the Galafrey story is Kim Tyrer, who stepped into the family business after the death of her father and has played a key role in carrying the winery forward. Under Kim’s guidance, Galafrey has remained true to its roots while continuing to evolve. There is still a strong family presence across the business, with Linda Tyrer and Nigel Rowe also closely involved, and that hands-on connection is part of what makes the winery feel so genuine.
Why wine lovers seek out Galafrey
Galafrey has earned a loyal following because the wines combine regional typicity with warmth, drinkability and personality. Riesling is an obvious strength, but the winery is also admired for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, while Müller-Thurgau has become one of the more distinctive points of difference in the range. For many wine lovers, Galafrey is a winery that captures a more personal and quietly confident side of the Great Southern.
