Tasting Notes
De-stemmed Savagnin open top fermented for 5 days. Pressed with plenty of sugar and barrel fermented. Barrel remained untopped to develop a flor. 12 months in barrel and a further 16 months in bottle. Lemongrass and preserved lemons on the nose. Juicy and salty with a guppy gingerbready savoury tannins. - 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
