Our story
Hi, Geoff and Emma here, the husband-and-wife team from label Reulyn Wine Co. Our love for wine started many moons ago during our honeymoon overseas, after a trip to Europe, solidified our love for wine. We were hook, line and sinker ‘wine people’ for life.
We both grew up immersed in natural environments; Emma surrounded by the beautiful Swan Valley and Geoff in the lush Dwellingup forest. Both coming from hard working backgrounds, it was in our nature to enjoy taking on risks and trying new things that involved being outdoors. We automatically were drawn towards the art of making wine for its beautiful yet methodical way of turning grapes into a masterpiece.
Our story
The connection between the land, the grapes and the way wine is enjoyed with family and friends, is an interrelationship which in essence, is why we started producing wine. It allows us to come together.
Over ten years ago we started making our first baby batch of wine which has quickly turned into something much more. After having our two children, we discovered we wanted to forge a new path by passing down our passion and traditions of making wine within our family. Reulyn Wine Co is the combination of both of our children’s names and reason why we created a label.
We are grateful to the many people who have led us to this path that we feel was designed for our future.
Our Production
Our production process starts with a soft landing for our grapes by hand picking most of our fruit. We usual time our harvest surrounding the full moon cycle to ensure we are picking the full fruit berries we have worked so hard to grow.
We use a whole bunch press method with traditional production tools to make micro batches. Making smaller styles of wine allows us to focus on blending and flavour combinations. To our benefit, we are not held bound by any traditions, so we enjoy the freedom on trialing new flavours within our wine making process. Floral, fruit forward and texturally inviting wines are our jam.
We are passionate about climate tolerant grape varieties that suit our ever-changing climate. We have recently brought seven acres in the Swan Valley region of Western Australia, where we have begun planting our new vineyard for the future. Some of our currently varieties planted include Nero d’Avola, Negroamaro, Agliacano.
Our Approach
We aim to produce simplistic style wines in micro batches focusing on allowing the fruit flavours to shine without interruption. We intentionally source our fruit to ensure we are accessing sustainably grown grapes from vines we have cared for or vineyards that align with our ethos. Using quality grown grapes allows us to pay respect to the connection between plant growth and quality wine production.
Over five years ago, we were offered by family the privilege of maintaining a vineyard in Quindanning. The vines were abandoned for quite some time, and we lovingly brought them back to life. We dedicated our time to restructuring and caring for the vines which has unfolded with an abundance of Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. We take a minimalistic approach toward the care of the vines to ensure we are maintaining a limited environmental footprint on the land.
