Logan Weemala Merlot 2018 New South Wales Orange

Margan Estate Barbera 2019

The wine is vivid purple in its youth with lifted aromas of red fruits- strawberry, raspberry, cherry and red current. The palate reflects the nose but also has savoury bramble berry and fresh mulberry notes. Touches of spicy star anise add extra interest and the tannins are soft and silky. The bright acidity gives a long, refreshing finish.

All the wines of Margan are single vineyard wines produced from grapes grown on the Margan vineyards in the Broke Fordwich sub-region of the Hunter Valley. All of the wines of Margan are hand made by Andrew Margan in our 500 tonne winery in Broke.

Within our 100 hectares of vineyard we have a mixture of old vines planted in the late 1960’s to more traditional Hunter Valley varieties and some newer vineyards that we have planted ourselves to alternative varieties and field blends. The strongest element in defining the style of my wine is the climate of the Hunter Valley and the influence it has on the ripening of our grapes and the subsequent flavours, acidity and structure of the resultant wines. The second most significant element is the soil our vines are grown on. The ancient red volcanic soil of the Fordwich Sill creates a unique style of wine that defines the wines of Margan.

From within our 100 hectares we have many different blocks of each variety which are picked separately and blended before bottling. In any given vintage some blocks may out perform others and stand out in the winery. It is from these small parcels we may select our White Label wines. Any wine that wears the White Label has been selected , apart from anything else, to age well.
