One of the flagship blends of the Margaret River wine region, this wine sees extended skin contact prior to fermentation (12 days versus a few hours), is fermented in barrel (versus in stainless steel tank) and is matured for 4 months on its (yeast) lees. The result of this special treatment is a complex, textured wine which is screaming out for some fresh fish.

About Gant & Co
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.
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 continued pursuit of best practice to improve vine health is at the heart of their quest to grow wines that reflect the purity and energy of this beautiful site. 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.
