A vine's root system can delve well beyond 5m deep.

Some are known to reach 10m below the surface in search of water and other nutrients.

Right now, the root system is stockpiling starch to fuel the early stages of this year's bud burst in September.

What effect does Oak have on wine?

Oak adds flavour, allows a small ingress of oxygen and facillitates melolactic fermentation

Flavours:
Creminess (from melo)
Vanilla (vanillian)
Coconut (oak lactone)
Smokiness (eugenol)

A single french oak barrel costs around $3000 for use in Margaret River and can only be used a handful of times. Which definitley impacts the pricepoint of your chosen wines too!

This is Thompson Estate Vineyard 👌

This small winery is known for it's great reputation for producing highly awarded wines.

With two vineyards and completely estate grown, Thompson has great control over the quality of their fruit. Their state of the art winery was finished in 2007 with special oversight from legendary Bob Cartwright and have been making amazing wines every since. The winery philosophy is based around effeciency with overhead fermentors complete with shutes for easy disposal and a rail system underneath... some really great forward thinking!

A regular tasting consists of wines from the 4 Chambers, Locum and Specialist Ranges. Clearly there is a medical theme to these wines, as the founder, Peter Thompson was a cardiologist and studied under the founder of Vasse Felix, Tom Cullity, who was also a cardiologist.

These are our mates LS Merchants

The founder Dylan started his wine journey as a DJ, doofing hard and selling wine on the side. After a bit of licencing research, he shockingly found out there was more money in actually making his wine as a profession, and doofing on the side (he probably made this decision after a few we reckon)

LS stands for Liquid Surprises, which is fairly accurate, as they have one of the most diverse varietal lineups in the region and none of them are what you expect.

Love these legends 🤘

What are late harvest wines? 👇

The term ‘late harvest’ creatively comes from a grape that is harvested late!

These Verdelho grapes were harvest a few weeks ago at Willespie - Wines of Distinction for their White Gold dessert wine.

The later the grape is picked off the vine, the higher in sugar and lower in acid the corresponding wine will be. The fruit also dehydrates when left hanging (quite literally!), which causes further sugar concentration and the shrivelling effect on the skin, as seen above. Thus, late harvest dessert wines are deliberately left out for a few more weeks than their conventional counterpart for their delicious sweetness.

Meet some Wine Dogs!

Here we have Monty from and Squidge from

Farm dogs have many roles on a winery; Traditionally, they are used to chase birds out from underneath nets during vintage. But more recently smart-bois have transitioned to
1. Welcoming commitee
2. Social Media Marketing
3. Children Entertainment Services
In the pursuit of more [com-pet-ative] [com-pet-sation]. Including pats and treats, while still being able to chase as many birds as they can.

These guys are the real winners in the wine business.

Marri blossom and it's importance for the Margaret River Wine Region 👇👇

Driving around Margaret River this summer, you may have seen the white flowering trees covering the landscape. These are our endemic Marri Trees in full blossom, as you can see in the treetops above.

During harvest, the sweet nectar of the Marri flowers attracts insects, birds and native animals. Diverting their foraging to the treetops, rather than the vineyard. Leaving the all-important grapes for Margaret River's voracious winemakers!

Birds can damage fruit by perforating the delicate grape skins, which further invites insects and disease. However, vintage 2024 experienced a 'mast year', an abnormally large flowering year. Protecting the special fruit.

This doesn't occur every year, such as the '20/'21 vintage, which had a particularly lean blossom. Decreasing the yield on that year's harvest.
