  • TASTING NOTE: "This quickly became a staff favourite as we poured it by the glass at The Heritage Wine Bar. Perfectly poised. There is a creamy, rolling weight, (from barely there oak, and lees ageing) to this wine that carries it's beautiful pure fruit. A refined line of acid brings it all together. It's neither a lean chardonnay nor a big one. It's pretty close to to perfect drinking from Margs for me." David Gillman, HWS
  • ABOUT THE WINE: Dual cane. Shoot thinned. Leaf plucked for dappled solarisation. 100% Gin Gin (Block 1). Barrel fermented and matured sur lie for 9 months.
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Gant & Co was established by Claudia and Matt Gant in 2019, but the journey began twenty years earlier…In 1998, Claudia’s father, Graham Lloyd, planted a vineyard on Twenty Four Road in Karridale, the southern-most sub region of Margaret River, on the south west tip of Western Australia. Just 15km north of the cooling influence of the Southern Ocean, this idyllic site produces aromatic, fine lined whites and vibrant, elegant reds, and has been supplying grapes to some of the region’s top producers ever since. Claudia has worked on the vineyard since its establishment, whilst pursuing a winemaking career that has seen her work around Australia, as well as in the US, France and Portugal.  And it was on one stint away, whilst working in the Barossa, that Claudia met her husband, Matt Gant. A fellow winemaker on his own vinous journey,  After a number of years in South Australia, Claudia and Matt decided to move back to Western Australia a few years ago to raise their family. Claudia returned to the vineyard and Matt continued to split his time between Margaret River and his winery in Nuriootpa (which he sold in 2021). Sadly, in 2016, Claudia’s father lost his fight with cancer, and Claudia took on full responsibility for the vineyard. With a deep connection to this place and to honour Graham’s memory, Claudia and Matt established Gant and Co in 2019, to not only showcase the fruit from this amazing site, but also champion the cool climate sub region of Karridale. The vineyard has always been farmed holistically, with minimal sprays and soil health a primary focus, and timely intervention the key to success. In recent years, changes to some practices and the timing of them (eg cane pruning, leaf plucking) has led to further improvements in fruit quality and sustainability. The resulting wines are produced with a light touch. A simple, sensitive approach (eg gentle handling, indigenous fermentation, ‘sur lie’ maturation) guided by timely intervention. These are wines that are lovingly grown and sensitively made. Gant & Co
