Hazel’s Vineyard is McHenry Hohnen’s southernmost and biodynamic vineyard, certified in 2020 and located in Margaret River, Western Australia. This site benefits from a cooling Southern Ocean influence, and a northerly aspect, with plenty of sunshine and free-draining, ironstone gravel loam soil.

Today, the vineyard is managed by Simon Keall, with the aim in encouraging biodiversity within their boundaries, and in minimising all external inputs.

How McHenry Hohnen maintain and encourage biodiversity

• Vineyard chickens manage pest insects

• Sheep provide organic fertiliser and graze on weeds

• Honeybee colonies assist pollination and act as environmental indicators

• Rainwater harvesting for all winery operations

• Significant solar power generation

• Extensive composting

Wines to seek out

The perfect rosé from the Languedoc, this pale pink wine from French Bulldog is complete with floral notes, followed by a delicate and complex nose and strawberry flavours, making it as clasically refreshing as it is delicious.

~

Cheerful and playful with a touch of arrogance, the French Bulldog was the inspiration for this range of wines from the Languedoc area. Produced from vines planted on well-drained hillsides, surrounded by scrub land and limestone, the area is blessed with plenty of sunshine all year round and cooling sea breezes.

Available in red, white and rosé Pays d’Oc.

Cartuxa is known for some of the best wines in the world, and is truly legendary in Portugal with its icon Pêra-Manca. The winery dates back to the sixteenth century in the Évora region of the Alentejo and is owned by a non-profit making foundation, the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation. Here are two fantastic reds that represent great value for money.

Cartuxa Tinto 2018

“This has a floral, expressive nose that is bright and vivid with lovely red cherry and raspberry fruit. There’s a touch of redcurrant, too. The palate is ripe and textured with nice fleshiness and a grainy structure. Substantial but still very fresh, displaying ripe berry fruits.” 93 points

Geno Tinto 2019

“I still cannot quite believe the value offered by this stunningly rewarding wine from acclaimed producer Cartuxa Evora… the colourful label gives you an idea of the open, refreshing flavours in this engaging red.”

Château Miraval goes from strength to strength

Over the past decade, Miraval has garnered a reputation for top quality rosé wines, made under the expert guidance of the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel fame. Thanks to their continued dedication to improving quality in both the vineyards and the cellar, Miraval is today considered one of the great names of Provence.

Selection

Château Miraval is in Correns, the first 100% organic village in France, where all the crops, including grapes, are grown organically. Tucked away in its own private valley, the château is surrounded by ancient woodlands and olive groves. Their 50ha of terraced vineyards lie on clay and chalk soils at 350m altitude – the cool nights here moderating the warm days and allowing the grapes to retain their delicate aromas and crisp acidity. Hand-harvested in the coolness of the morning, the grapes are hand sorted twice ensuring that only the best go into the wine.

The Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle parcels for their Côtes de Provence Rosé are gently pressed to extract just the right amount of colour, while the Syrah is vinified using the saignée method. Each variety is fermented separately – 95% in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and 5% in oak barrels with bâtonnage to add texture and complexity – before blending. The resulting wine is a beautiful pale petal-pink colour with enticing aromas of fresh raspberries, cherries and hints of garrigue, while the palate is dry with refreshing acidity and a lingering, perfumed finish.
