Tasting Notes
This wine has a similar story as Eau d'Amis #2, but one that involves red grape juice. Shiraz, Pinot noir, Tempranillo, macerated Gris; some varieties from multiple sites and different ripeness. In barrel for a year, ouille (topped). Gripping tranquillity in a bottle. Blend of organically grown red fruit, harvested, fermented, and blended over harvest 2023. Red plum, pomegranate, honey, white flowers and quince. - 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
