ABOUT THE WINE: "We’ve been on the lookout for Pinot fruit since the last release of Pinot Noir in 2021. David Rado at Pemberley of Pemberton was kind enough to sell us some (we begged) from his new vineyard in-between Manjimup and Pemby. This gravelly site produces dense, full-bodied Pinot Noir clone 114, one of the clones from Morey-Saint-Denis in Côte-d’Or, Burgundy. The aim was to make a bright, summer style of Pinot. We left 10% of the batch as whole bunches with the remaining 90% destemmed on top. Matured for 8 months in a mix of barrels, its layered with sexy oak, smokiness and red currants. This wine looks amazing after 15 minutes in the fridge and pairs up perfectly with duck, charcuterie, and smoked cheeses." LS Merchants
- 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.
