Tasting Notes
All of the white varieties harvested made their way into this wine. Chardonnay, Viognier, Sémillon, Sauvignon, Gris and so on. Fortified with the best aged organic grape spirit around, the resulting blend was left in barrel for a year, sous voile (un-topped). Blend of organically grown white fruit, harvested, fermented, and blended over harvest 2021. Grapefruit, quince, roasted almond, honey and thyme. - Winemaker 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
