Wills Domain

Wills Domain Wines

Our vineyards thrive on the sun-kissed northern- and western-facing slopes of Gunyulgup Valley, winding toward the Indian Ocean coast. Benefitting from the ideal maritime climate for grape cultivation, Wills Domain proudly presents its exquisite, handcrafted Margaret River wines, cultivated from two established old-vine vineyards dating back to 1992.

Since their designation as wine merchants by royal appointment in Austria during the 1380s, the Haunold family has maintained their esteemed legacy, now extending to the new world wineries of Australia. Their tradition perseveres in the ancient soils of Western Australia. The tranquil maritime influences, coupled with the site’s elevation and prehistoric red gravel soils, converge to create a vine terroir renowned worldwide.

Darren Haunold founded Wills Domain in 2000, Winemaking is in Darren’s blood, along with a tradition of generous hospitality and deep appreciation of modern Australian gastronomy. Since 1985, the vineyard has gone from strength to strength, and is now a Halliday 5 Red Star-rated Margaret River winery and home to one of Western Australia’s most-awarded regional restaurants.

Chief Winemaker Richard Rowe has over 35 years of winemaking experience and has worked in most premium wine regions in Australia. Internationally, he has completed vintages in France, Germany and South Africa. Richard first came to Margaret River in 2003, as chief winemaker for Evans & Tate, where he oversaw a transformation of winemaking quality and style, winning many Wine Show awards both domestically and internationally. Prior to joining Evans & Tate, he spent 13 years in the Clare Valley, South Australia, with Leasingham Wines and Kirrihill Wines. Richard has been instrumental in helping propel Wills Domain to 5-star Halliday status and rack up high rankings for our different ranges.
