Driftwood Estate is an Australian winery at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. The winder was established by Tom and Helen Galapoulos in 1989, on what had been a country retreat.[1][2] The winery received acclaim when its first wine, a semillon produced in 1993, won a special commendation in a British competition.[2] In 2009, leading Australian wine writer James Halliday rated Driftwood Estate as one of the best wineries in the Margaret River region.[3]
