- TASTING NOTE: A powerful shiraz crafted from Waldron clone vines grown in Frankland River. Dark berries, mouth-watering raspberry with ripe plums and a rich, elegant structure.
- 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. Handpicked in the early morning, 10% whole cluster added to the bottom of the tank before de stemming the balance on top. The grapes were left untouched for 3 days with wild fermentation starting after 3 days. Plunged daily by foot in an open fermenter, pressed directly to barrel. Matured 14 months in 3-year old French Demi Muid (600L barrel), 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.
