This is one of the newest offerings from the d’Arenberg team, and one that we are immensely proud of. Chester's daughters Ruby and Alicia take the naming rights for The Laughing Magpie; it is what they call their tame Kookaburra, a member of the Kingfisher family (though not at all similar in looks) that lives in the native scrub surrounding the Osborn family home. The young Osborn girls found it far easier to say ‘Laughing Magpie’ than ‘Kookaburra’. The characteristic call of the Kookaburra is a loud and startlingly human- sounding laugh. We thought that calling the wine after the Magpie, a large and melodious black and white Australian native bird (which looks not dissimilar to the European magpie) was a great way to highlight the blend of black (Shiraz) and white (Viognier) varieties which combine to make this wine. !
