Discover 7 Lo-Fi Wineries in Margaret River
Looking to explore a different side of Margaret River wine country? Lo-fi wines offer a fun, authentic and natural approach to winemaking and Margaret River has some incredible producers leading the charge. At The Journey Margaret River, we specialise in private tours that showcase the region's hidden gems and if you're into minimal intervention and maximum flavour, we can help plan the perfect day out for you.
What Are Lo-Fi Wines?
Lo-fi wines, short for low-fidelity are all about minimal intervention. That means fewer additives, no heavy handed winemaking techniques and a focus on letting the grapes and the Margaret River terroir speak for themselves. Think wild ferments, natural yeasts, little to no sulphur and often a more rustic or funky flavour profile. They're exciting, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.
While not always labelled as 'natural' or 'organic,' most lo-fi winemakers embrace a philosophy centred on simplicity, sustainability and staying true to the grape and land. If you’re someone who loves wine that tells a story and isn’t afraid of a little cloudiness or fizz, lo-fi wines might just be your thing. Next time you are in the bottle shop look out for a Margaret River pet nat.
