Why are we out spraying the vines at 8pm?

Because that’s when the bees have finished foraging. 🐝

One of the realities of farming organically is that timing matters. Every decision in the vineyard is made with the health of the ecosystem in mind—not just the vines, but the wildlife that calls it home too.

By waiting until the evening, we can carry out the work the vineyard needs while helping to protect one of nature’s most important workers.

Organic farming has never been the easiest path. It takes more planning, more patience, and often a few late evenings.

But we’ve always believed that looking after the vineyard means looking after everything that lives in it.

Sometimes that means working while everyone else is heading in for dinner.

And we’re perfectly happy with that.

Most Bordeaux producers are known for blends.

So are we.

But we also do something a little unusual.

Alongside our Bordeaux blends, we produce single-varietal Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot wines—two varieties more commonly found playing supporting roles in Bordeaux.

Why?

Because over the years, these grapes kept capturing our attention.

Cabernet Franc brings freshness, fragrance and elegance.

Petit Verdot brings depth, structure and character.

And in the right season, they have enough personality to stand confidently on their own.

It’s not about challenging Bordeaux tradition.

It’s about exploring what our vineyard can express at its best.

The result is a collection of wines that are unmistakably Bordeaux, while offering something you don’t often encounter in the region.

Three varieties.

One vineyard.

A distinctly Château Maine Gazin approach to Bordeaux. 🍷

Where should someone start when discovering Bordeaux? 🍷

Most people think they need to learn the regions, understand the classifications, and memorise a long list of French names.

You don’t.

The easiest place to start is with the style of wine you already enjoy.

Love smooth, approachable reds? Start with Merlot-led Bordeaux.

Prefer something with more structure and depth? Explore Cabernet-led blends.

Looking for something fresh and easy-drinking? Don’t overlook Bordeaux Rosé.

Bordeaux doesn’t need to be complicated.

You just need a way in.

Giving the vines a haircut ✂️🍇

At this time of year, we trim the vine canopy and guide the growth between catch wires, creating neat, open rows throughout the vineyard.

Why does it matter?

A clear canopy allows sunlight to reach the vines more evenly and helps the fruit ripen consistently throughout the season.

It also improves airflow and allows us to efficiently apply the sulphur and copper-based sprays we use to protect the vines from mildew.

The result is healthier vines, better fruit, and ultimately, better wine.

One of those small vineyard jobs that plays a big role in what ends up in your glass.

Do you enjoy the wines of Margaret River?

You might enjoy Bordeaux more than you think.

Here’s why 🍷

Both regions are known for elegant, Cabernet and Merlot-led blends.

Both are shaped by a maritime climate.

Both produce wines built on balance, structure and food-friendly character rather than sheer power.

In fact, long before we bought a vineyard in Bordeaux, our connection to wine started in Western Australia, where Geoff first discovered the style of blending that would eventually lead us to France.

Different continents.

Different histories.

But more similarities than many people realise.

If you love Margaret River Cabernet blends, Bordeaux could be your next favourite discovery.

Have you tried both?

People often ask how this happened. The short answer is — it didn’t start here.

The dream started in Australia, around vineyards, long before we imagined doing this ourselves.

The path from there to Bordeaux wasn’t exactly planned.
But it felt like the right one to follow.

If you’re curious how it all came together,
comment “journey” and we’ll send through more.
