THE WINE
This 100% Semillon is a classic expression of the unoaked Australian style—crisp, precise, and vibrant. Initially reserved and herbaceous, it opens with subtle notes of green pepper, sappy grass, and apple pith, gradually revealing layers of citrus, including grapefruit and lime zest. The finish is steely and persistent, making it a perfect match for oysters or grilled prawns. The grapes are hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed, and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts. The wine sees no malolactic fermentation, filtration, or fining, preserving its purity and natural character.
THE PEOPLE
Karri Vineyard is a collaboration between Les Caves de Pyrene and Xavier Goodridge, created with the aim of producing high-quality Australian wines from Margaret River at outstanding value. The fruit is sourced from the renowned biodynamic vineyard of McHenry Hohnen in southern Margaret River. The name "Karri" refers to the native Eucalyptus Diversicolor, which grows exclusively in this part of Western Australia. The vineyard is managed by viticulturist Mike Sleegers, a leading authority on biodynamic farming in the region. Using a VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trellis system, the vineyard employs organic and biodynamic methods such as composting with grape marc and cattle manure, alternating cover crops, planting legumes and grasses to improve soil health, and promoting biodiversity through natural pest control and the encouragement of native birds and bees.
THE PLACE
Karri Vineyard, located just a few hundred metres from the Indian Ocean on Calgardup Brook Road in southern Margaret River, benefits from a cool, windy maritime climate where sea spray is often carried inland on ocean swells. This coastal influence lends a distinct freshness and salinity to the wines. The vineyard sits on coastal limestone loam soils, with vines planted east to west on gentle slopes that follow the natural contour of the land. Calgardup Brook, which runs through the property and flows directly into the ocean, enhances the site’s unique terroir. This combination of coastal exposure, soil, and slope contributes to wines of purity, vibrancy, and strong regional identity.
