    About The Wine

    Lucy M’s Merlot (100%) is sourced from Magpie Springs Farm in Hope Valley, a sandy site at the top of a hill close to the ocean. The fruit was destemmed and fermented in an open-top 2,000-litre oak barrel. The ferment was foot-stomped once a day over three weeks. The wine was then pressed to ceramic eggs for maturation. 

    Anton’s notes: The velvet warmth of darkness, the comfort of a warm, hairy mountain man cuddling in a cold winter morning, the richness of black pudding, the beauty in blackness.


    About Lucy M

    When we think of natural wine in Australia, one of the first names that comes to mind is Anton van Klopper - and for good reason.

    Operating from a relatively small estate in Basket Range, South Australia, Anton crafts wines renowned for their complexity, raw authenticity, and uncompromising character. And that's just how we like them!

    Anton approaches winemaking exactly as you'd hope: the antithesis to mass production. His philosophy encompasses every stage of the process - from organic farming and meticulous land stewardship to hand-harvesting fruit, wild yeast fermentation, and zero additives.

    His commitment to purity extends even to distilling his own alcohol for winery cleaning, eliminating any need for harsh chemicals throughout the entire operation.
