Tasting Notes
Beautifully integrated vermouth from James at Scintilla. Hand-sourced herbs are blended in calculated quantities based on taste to make a vermouth that's light and restrained in weight with nuances from the herb and spice world. Serve on the rocks with a slice of citrus or in a negroni. - Chris L
James Madden is a friend and a hell of a personality. His wines aren't much different really... The vineyards are all farmed organically in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills (some by James himself) and a bare minimum is done to interfere with the wines natural course. No additions, no subtractions, just fermented juice. James comes from a hospitality background where he worked all over the country running bars and restaurants until he caught the winemaking bug like so many of us. He is pretty much self taught but does pull knowledge from his handful of vintages with James Erskine (Jauma), Alex Schulkin (The Other Right) and Anton von Klopper (Lucy Margaux). I have lots of love for these wines and I can't wait to see the journey James takes us on. - Chris L
