The laughing magpie Shiraz Viognier 2018
 McLaren Vale, Shiraz (95%) Viognier (5%)
 The Name
 The Kookaburra is a native Australian bird 
famous for its distinctive laughing call, 
Chester’s young daughters named them  
“Laughing Magpies”. The Magpie plumage 
is black with a stripe of white feathers, 
representing McLaren Vale’s first ever blend 
combining the (black) Shiraz and its white 
partner, Viognier.
 The Vintage
 Quite a wet winter with July, August and 
September being way above average in 
rainfall. October, November and December 
were a little below average and January, 
February and March were more or less 
bone dry. Temperatures were mild until 
late January, so vines seemed to be delayed 
and harvest appeared like it was again going 
to be late. However, a few hot days and 
nights brought the ripening forward with 
slight sacrifice of acidity. The above average 
temperatures of February and March and 
the dryness made everything ripen relatively 
quickly. Yields appeared on the lighter 
side, because the heat and dry conditions 
did reduce them significantly, however 
they were still quite respectable across all 
varieties.

 The Winemaking
 Small batches of grapes are gently crushed 
and then transferred to open fermenters, 
where the Viognier and Shiraz are 
co-fermented. Foot treading is undertaken 
two thirds of the way through fermentation, 
the wine is basket pressed and transferred 
to old French oak to complete fermentation 
and mature. The barrel ferments are aged on 
lees, there is no racking until final blending 
and no fining or filtration.
 The Characteristics
 A classic northern Rhone blend, Shiraz with 
a little touch of Viognier. Very perfumed, 
black and red berries. A vibrant concoction. 
the Shiraz brings black fruits, plums, 
black cherries, and the small parcel of co
fermented Viognier brings stone fruits like 
peach and a touch of apricot. This makes 
for a very savoury and harmonious bond 
between the two varieties. This is certainly a 
wine that will benefit from careful cellaring 
for many years to come

So cute and so worth it!
Size: 3 Little Kid, Color: Turquoise
AMAZING for my 7 year old daughter. She can tie shoes but I no longer have to wait on her to do so. It takes 2 seconds for her to put these on and she says that they are super comfortable. We have been to Silver dollar City multiple times and she never complains about her feet hurting! They are easily washed in the washer. They hold up great. I think they are very much worth the money! Fit normal.
