Logan Weemala Merlot 2018 New South Wales Orange

Marq Malbec 2019

It is a full bodied richly flavoured wine with intense sweet fruit. This wine is juicy and fleshy with noticeable oak that adds just an element of grip and structure to this otherwise silky soft wine.

Curious wine lovers embrace lesser-known varieties made with food in mind.
While winemaking is his first love, Mark now puts as much passion into growing quality fruit on his Yallingup property. He maintains a long standing relationship with growers of alternative varietals across the region, which all go into producing beautiful and exciting wines.

Beginning in the vineyard, this combination of savvy experimentation and deep science is yielding some beautiful wine, which is finding its place in bars, restaurants and bottle shops from the South West to Sydney. Mark is continuously inspired and always excited at the prospect of bringing something new to the tasting bench.

To showcase Margaret River’s capacity to grow unconventional varieties, Marq wines are produced entirely from local grapes grown in Wilyabrup, Yallingup and Karridale. While the Marq story celebrates diversity and difference in wine culture and production, it also plays to what we know and love about relaxed, no fuss, fresh is best cuisine. Think just caught chili crab with a glass of Vermentino.

In essence, Marq wine is the story of an accomplished Winemaker at the top of his game taking time out to make exactly the sort of fine, intriguing wine he loves to drink.We hope you love it too.

Mr Barval Nebbia 2019. Robert Gherardi was born with wine in his blood, as a small boy going to Margaret River to pick grapes with three generations of his extended Italian family. The grapes were taken to his grandmother’s suburban backyard to begin the fermentation, followed by a big lunch or dinner to celebrate the arrival of the new vintage-to-be. Nonetheless, his first degree was in marine science and biotechnology; while completing the course he worked in an independent wine store in Perth. Having tasted his way around the world in the bottle, and aged 25, he enrolled in the full oenology and viticulture degree. This led to employment at Moss Wood for four years, then Brown Hill Estate as assistant winemaker, and finally to Cullen for three years. Vanya Cullen encouraged him to travel to Barolo and work with Elio Altare for three harvests over a five-year period. This included moving to Barolo with his wife and children to experience the full four seasons of viticulture and winemaking. He returns to Italy each year for his boutique travel business, with customised tours of Barolo, Valtellina and further north. And so he arrived at the name for his winery: Margaret River, Barolo and Valtellina.
