Tasting Notes
Intense, fresh, alive sweet limes to smell and taste. This naturally made Savagnin opens with piercing citrus and evolves towards old style homemade lemonade as the air seeps in - still full of lively sweet citrus at 24 hours! Texture too; more driven by acidity, but still a chalky mouthfeel. 11.1% alc. But decant it and shake to release the protective CO2 after opening please. So fresh and long! - Michael L
Organically farmed in Mt Compass on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Hand-picked and whole bunch direct pressed to old french barriques. Left on full lees for 10 months. Racked and bottled with no additions. Nervy acidity with lemon, lemon and more lemons. Quenching salinity. - Winery Note
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
