My Wines
Lucy Margaux Vineyards has two tiers of wines. The top tier of Noir wines come under there own estate names. Our own prodigious estate pinot noir comes under the label ‘Lucy Marguax Vineyards’ , we also craft wines from to other tiny exclusively pinot estates in Norton Summit, ‘Little Creek Vineyard’ and ‘Monomeith Vineyard’ . The second tier of wine comes under the ‘Domiane Lucci’ label. This fruit is sourced from a long time friend and neighbour’s vineyard. We know that the Basket Range terrior is unique and all the wines we produce express this. We also produce one barrel of ‘Sangiovese’ form Piccadilly. We only get grapes from good friends and we are grateful they entrust their hard work to us to show wines that express there love for their patch of dirt. 
The ‘Lucy Margaux Vineyard’ estate grown pinot has been dry land farmed using the biodynamic method from day one. From these small struggling vines we get tiny bunches. The vines are in perfect balance so unlike most growers we do not require the use of pesticides or fungicide. This natural balance is expressed in the wines.
‘Little Creek Vineyard’ is a small 10acre block of 114, 115 Pinot Noir tendered by Suzie Morris and Nigel Hopkins. This Norton summit hillside has a view to the ocean and is warmed by the long afternoon Adelaide sun. The vines exposure and humidity from the ocean is critically important to pinot noir as it softens the wine.
I with many others love ‘Monomeith’, it’s an ideal 8 acres of clones 115, 114 & mv6 vineyard on the hills side of Norton Summit. It wakes up to the morning sun, made mild by the oceans and is lovingly cared for by Rozanne Kerr. This year (2008 vintage) we have started to convert part of the vineyard to biodynamics.
The 20 year old sangiovese vines are grown by the Dean Family in the Piccadilly Valley. Unfortunately there it is only a small patch, so I only get to play with about less than a tonne. I hope they see sense in removing the shiraz and cultivating more of this noble variety.
The ‘Domaine Lucci’ wines are grown on our neighbour’s (Phillip Broderick) estate. The vineyard is irrigated and sprays are kept to a minimum. There is no doubt that Phillip has a great sight and the Domaine Lucci wines express this greatness.
