Two new wines from McHenry Hohnen’s new winemaker Julian Grounds Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, McHenry Hohnen is owned by the McHenry and Hohnen families, and draws on three long established vineyards which are each managed following either organic or biodynamic principles.

Winemaker Julian Grounds has continued McHenry Hohnen’s working philosophy

adding in an increased focus on single-vineyard and single-block wines. 2017 Laterite Hills Chardonnay

A blend from the Burnside, Hazel’s and Calgardup Brook Vineyards,

handpicked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts in mainly older French oak. Some barrels underwent natural malolactic

fermentation before extended lees ageing. Bottled unfiltered in January. 2016 Hazel’s Vineyard Reserve BDX

A Malbec-dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Verdot

added for complexity, savouriness and balance. This wine was made in

concrete fermenters and underwent wild-yeast fermentation. The wines were pressed to French oak barrels matured for 15 months. Unfiltered.

Julian will be visiting the UK in September 2018 and visiting many parts of the UK. Contact your account manager or enquiries@louislatour.co.uk for more information.

Terra Futura Merlot Marselan Domaine de Tavernel was first established in 1830 by the Tavernel family. Since 1925, the domaine has belonged to the Amphoux family who converted the vineyards to

organic in 1987 and no weed killer or any chemical fertiliser has been used since 1975. This wine is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Marselan (a crossing of Cabernet

Sauvignon and Grenache), made without the addition of any sulphites.

It’s bright purple in colour with soft fruit flavours of black cherries and blackberries with a dark chocolate note and supple tannins.

The grapes for this organic wine come from a vineyard situated at

the foot of the southern slopes of the Costières, north of Arles on a combination of silt, clay and sandy soils. The packaging is all fully recyclable:

• Bottles in recyclable glass • Corks come from FSC-protected forests

• Labels made from recycled paper • Cases made from recycled paper • Suitable for vegetarians and vegans; sulphite free.

Please contact us if you would like to receive a sample for consideration.
