- TASTING NOTE: A juicy and vibrant light red, perfect for BYO pizza night. Juicy red berries, dried herbs, a little hit of pepper and spice and a vibrant bit of acidity, make this a lip smacking drop that tough not love.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Merlot (37%) from Magpie Springs, Syrah (15%) from Dingabledinga, Mourvèdre form Langhorne Creek (25%), Gamay (13%) and Cabernet Franc (10%) from Pooks Hill. The wine is an assemblage, an honest wine for pirates, sailors, gauchos, bricklayers and princesses.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Anton van Klopper’s commitment to making wines without any additions and his unwavering, unapologetic attitude have made him a pinup boy of natural wine—not just in Australia, but internationally. His craft of natural wine is a straightforward exercise: it involves vinifying grapes, and grapes alone, without any additions whatsoever. Few debates in wine have been so charged or divisive but Anton’s approach remains on course. Despite Anton’s wide renown, this is a super-small operation. The Lucy M vineyard and winery sit in the Basket Range, a picturesque pocket of the Adelaide Hills, where Anton also grows vegetables for The Summertown Aristologist—his nearby restaurant and cellar door (run together with Commune of Buttons). Anton also sources fruit from vineyards both in and around the Basket Range, which are rented and tended by him and his friend Jasper Button (all have gradually been converted to organic viticulture.) Anton’s formal wine education has taught him to understand what he doesn’t want to do. He admits that it has taken time and plenty of practice to make completely unadulterated wines, but the risk is worthwhile. These are complex, raw and mind-bending wines to taste. They are the product of a multitude of techniques, with natural ferments and aging in large-format oak and concrete eggs preceding bottling without fining or filtering. They are unapologetic for what they are and that’s exactly how Anton intends it to be.
