- TASTING NOTE: The ‘Margies’ Shiraz embodies the Mediterranean climate, showing fruit density, power and elegance at the same time. Black forest cake with dark cherries and a slight char. Elegant yet powerful.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Machine picked in the early hours of the morning and tipped directly into 1 tonne open fermenters. It is allowed to start ferment indigenously and then seeded with an organic yeast from Germany that produces its own colour extraction enzymes to enhance colour stability. Fermented for 25 days on skins before basket pressing to 30% new and 70% used French oak. Bottled Unfined.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: From the LS team..."THE STORY BEHIND LS MERCHANTS- It’s all because a young winemaker from Geelong wanted something more from Margaret River than Cab Sauv and Chardy. Dylan Arvidson was born in Blenheim NZ, raised in Geelong VIC and moved to Margaret River in 2009 after being offered a job at Juniper Estate. He realised early on that although his favourite variety to drink and make is Chardonnay, his passion lay in finding obscure varieties or fruit not typically well known in our region and making it into the best possible example of that variety. Throwing the textbooks away and working on flavours rather than analysis and taking winemaking back to basics." The LS Merchants team works with like-minded growers from around WA to produce expressive, fun, minimal intervention wine, that doesn't take itself too seriously.
