Tasting Notes
Named after winemaker James Madden's daughter, there isn't a bad word I can say about Flo. She's bubbly and rather loud when woken up from slumber, yet always refreshing to be around. I love this light and delicate Pet Nat... oh, and Flo! - Chris L
50/50 Whole bunch, direct pressed Barossa Chardonnay and McLaren Vale Verdelho. Bottled with 10 grams at the end of harvest. Left on lees for 12 months and disgorged in the middle of the following year. Zippy lemon rind with marmalade sweetness, savoury biscuity lees give nice length. - James Madden
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
