Aylesbury Estate
Winery Overview
The Aylesbury Estate story is steeped in history, named after the town from which the Gibbs family hailed. James Dagley Gibbs originated from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England and migrated to the Australind colony, Western Australia in 1844.
James’ son Samuel was a pioneer in the Ferguson Valley – part of what is now the Geographe Wine Region. This farm has been worked and passed down an unbroken chain of succession through 5 generations producing citrus, stone fruit, potatoes, dairy, and currently beef and wine grapes.
The same land Samuel took-up in 1883 is now Aylesbury Estate being carried on by fifth generation son Ryan Gibbs, wife Narelle and their family.
Winemaker Bio
In a family business, the people involved need to wear many hats. Between cattle breeding, pasture management, a focus on sustainability and the environment, grape-growing and directing the winemaking programme.
Ryan is the driving force behind Aylesbury Estate. Ryan has over 25 years’ of experience in the West Australian wine industry and he knows what it takes to produce fruit of exceptional quality.
“My aim is to produce fruit expressive of our unique vineyard sites to craft approachable, full flavoured wine styles best suited to the fruit we harvest. We’re not trying to be like anyone else – our wines have their own identity
