  • ABOUT THE WINE: The Waldron clone is a shiraz grape clone, also known as the Heritage Clone, originating from Hawkes Bay, NZ. It typically produces wines that are rich and full-bodied with high alcohol and acidity. It is widely planted across New Zealand and parts of Australia. Picked in the early hours of the morning, cold soaked on skins for 2 days before fermentation. Daily delestage (rack and returns) to increase colour, structure and phenolic weight. Pressed to large format oak barrels for maturation, bottled unfined. Think blue-black fruits, tightly wound tannin thats firm but resolved, great concentration and length. 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.
