Anton Gerrard van Klopper, the visionary behind Lucy M. Wines (also known as Lucy Margaux), has been a pivotal figure in Australia’s natural wine movement since 2007. As a founding member of The Natural Selection Theory collective, alongside James Erskine (Jauma Wines) and Tom Shobbrook (Shobbrook Wines), Anton has passionately promoted winemaking practices that prioritize purity and sustainability.

Based in the Adelaide Hills area, Lucy M. is committed to creating authentic, natural wines. Every bottle is crafted from organically farmed grapes and naturally fermented, with no additives, fining, or filtration. Their dedication to purity extends to the winery itself, where no chemicals are used—not even for cleaning. Instead, they use only water and alcohol distilled on-site to keep the environment pristine.

“I make natural wine! For me, natural wine must be made from organic/ biodynamic grapes (naturally fermented). The winemaker must not fine, filter, or add anything, including sulfur!”

“Making natural wines that are sound is an art and a skill but there is no better wine to drink!" 

At Lucy M., the team aims to produce lower-alcohol wines that are more enjoyable and health-conscious, by harvesting grapes early and changing their techniques. They believe wines at 11.5-12% or lower are better for well-being and social enjoyment. In the last couple of years, they have also focused on reducing common natural wine challenges like volatile acidity, mousiness, and lactobacillus fermentation. With recent additions such as a dynamiser from Paris Creek farm and a vintage Heidelberg Platen Press, Lucy M. continues to blend tradition with innovation, crafting wines that are both artistically refined and authentically natural, celebrating a legacy of passion and purity.
