Aylesbury Estate
Aylesbury Estate produces wines in Ferguson Valley, Western Australia, where cool-climate conditions favour both classic varieties and distinctive alternatives. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: QO5 Gamay and The Pater Series Cabernet Sauvignon, both rated 93 points by Wine Advocate, alongside The Pater Series Chardonnay at 92 points. The Gamay represents a notable choice for the region—the variety thrives in cooler sites and yields wines of elegance and freshness, a departure from the Cabernet-dominant landscape of much Australian production. The Pater Series Cabernet Sauvignon anchors the estate's work with the region's signature red variety, while the Chardonnay demonstrates the precision possible in Ferguson Valley's temperate climate. Wine Advocate's assessments of these releases underscore the technical calibre of the winery's winemaking across both traditional and unconventional varietals.
