After nearly three decades working closely with producers in Margaret River and the south west of WA, renowned winemaker Bruce Dukes launched his own brand, Domaine Naturaliste in 2012. Crediting his time spent studying agricultural science with shaping his values and practices, Bruce approaches winemaking with the passion of an agronomist. Beginning with a deep understanding of soils and sustainable farming, Bruce believes that a holistic approach reaps the greatest rewards, both for the wine and the environment. With an intuitive flair based on decades of experience, Bruce strikes a tender balance between taste, fragrance and texture.

In 2018, Bruce purchased a vineyard located in the heart of the acclaimed Wilyabrup area of Margaret River, now the home of the Domaine Naturaliste cellar door. With a maritime climate characterized by cool wet winters and long gentle summers, the location makes for a pristine environment for growing wine, particularly chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.

It is no doubt that this passion for agriculture and true artistry in the process of winemaking make for the exceptional wine experience you will receive at Domaine Naturaliste. You will find the picturesque cellar door nestled between the vines, offering and a relaxed wine-tasting experience for all who visit.

Aside from the focus chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon varieties, Domaine Naturaliste also produces sauvignon blanc, syrah, cabernet franc and a grenache rosé. Domaine Naturaliste has received consistent domestic and international acclaim, including a Best of Show Trophy at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards in London for the 2020 Rebus Cabernet and the 2024 Halliday Wine Companion Sauvignon Blanc Varietal Award for the 2021 Sauvage Sauvignon Blanc.
