Walsh & Son Lola Red 2018 Western Australia Margaret River
$23.95
Walsh & Son Lola Red 2018 Like all of this organic, artisanal producer’s wines, it’s quirky and evocative, conjuring a rainy Margaret River morning: damp earth, roots, wild berries, herbs and eucalyptus. The palate is still a little rough. Tannins are grainy and grippy, binding the tangy fruit and earthy spice together like glue. Light years away from the rich polished reds Oz is famed for, this rustic wine feels charming and terroirs-driven

Our Wine
Walsh & Sons is a family-owned winery creating small batches of wine with big personalities. By using traditional methods in our vineyard and natural winemaking techniques we aim to make expressive styles that are fun, youthful and different to the mainstream. Our winemaking relies on the intangible senses of inspiration, intuition and innovation. By using these we seek out a more informed expression of who we are whilst respecting the purity of our natural ingredients.
We have been involved in winemaking at the vineyard and winery level since childhood, having both come from wine and farming families in WA. We have travelled the globe to further our knowledge in places such as France, Spain, Switzerland and the USA. However, our home will always be Margaret River. On a grander scale, we believe Margaret River is still youthful in its wine age.
The Process
In creating the style of wines that we do, we rely largely on technique over technology so our wines retain their raw personalities. Much is yet to be discovered in style and soil and so we make wine from grapes and label them on locality as opposed to the generalised sub regions. All of our fruit comes from family-owned vineyards in two locations; Burnside and Osmington.
We much prefer local names as we feel they better represent the small communities that exist within Margaret River. We are influenced by the people in terroir more so than soil and weather.
Our immediate family, consisting of two sons Roi and Hamish, are what we enjoy the most. Our core wines are mirrored on the personalities of our younger extended family – energetic, youthful, playful and full of curiosity.
Please drink our wines with someone special, watch them grow and remember the importance of individuality and self-expression.
