South by South West Margaret River Chardonnay 2024
White Wine from Australia - Western Australia
The Climate and Nature Programme is helping the two-woman powerhouse behind South by South West, Liv and Mij, complete what Liv calls one of their ‘dream or unicorn type projects’ – building a custom-made mobile chicken trailer to introduce chickens to their vineyards. A project that as a small producer with a limited budget they would not have been able to achieve otherwise. Using chickens to help manage (in other words gobble up) weevils, the major vineyard pest in Western Australia, will hopefully enable them to reduce the usage of pesticides. Integrating animals into the viticultural operation in this way is an important tenet of regenerative viticulture which enables a holistic approach to pest management that in turn brings other natural benefits, and this is at the heart of SXSW’s viticultural philosophy. In addition to designing and constructing (and subsequently putting into action) the mobile chicken trailer, Liv and Mij will be implementing a tailored cover cropping programme and planting native trees and shrubs in and around their vineyards.
