Dylan

Dylan is founder and winemaker. He started this little biz a few years back and hasn’t looked back. While being winemaker for LS Merchants, Cape Grace Wines and clients, he still finds time to squeeze in a surf or go mountain biking, diving, fishing and exploring the region. Dylan has also dabbled in DJing and still plays parties here and there. If you happen to visit the winery there will no doubt be house music or breaks playing. Born in Blenheim, NZ and raised in Geelong, VIC. Moved West in 2009 with no plans to leave Margaret River anytime soon.

When not drinking wine he’ll be drinking some new craft brews from Rocky Ridge or Beer Farm

Born and raised in Geelong too but actually met Dylan in Perth in 2010 and they have pretty much been together since. Knowing literally nothing about wine before she met Dylan, this ride has sure been a learning curve. She jokes now that she still knows nothing compared to Dylan but knows a hell of a lot more than her friends.

Taryn does the books, pays the bills, packs orders, answers emails, helps in the winery whether it be during vintage or blending/bottling and just generally keeps Dylan in line. She also loves mountain biking, running, and walking the endless trails and beaches. While still a Victorian at heart, loves the relaxed vibe and being surrounding by the natural beauty of Margaret River and West Aus.

When not drinking wine, she’ll be drinking G&Ts.

FABIAN 

Fabian joined us in early 2020. His passion for the wine industry combined with extensive sales and customer service experience, a great palate and a mutual love of spearfishing and techno means it’s safe to say we officially found our right hand man. Fabian is the lead cellarhand/assistant and has taken over most of the state sales role.

In his spare time you will find him cooking up a storm, pulling into huge barrels at boat ramps, drinking some delicious wine or playing with his young boys. Fabian also imports some banging wines from Germany and France, if you want to know more check out C+H Fine Wine Merchants.

The best looking but least productive team member.

He’s a five year old kelpie/border-collie. Always ready to greet people at the winery with a stick or bung to throw. He’ll chase things as long as you’re throwing them and sleep if you’re not. He loves to swim, knows the mountain bike trails better than Taryn and is really scared of cats, boxes and the vacuum… among other things.
