Wine Advocate on MMAD VINEYARD
|
|
The MMAD Vineyard is an interesting project headed up by Martin Shaw, Michael Hill-Smith MW, Adam Wadewitz and David Le Mire MW (Martin, Michael, Adam, David—the acronym is obvious). The goal was to find a high-quality vineyard to purchase in McLaren Vale, specifically Blewitt Springs. When this vineyard finally became available, they pounced: the real story is more nuanced than that, but all you need is the gist. The wines are excellent and show the confluence of greatly talented wine minds and hands in the group.

James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion), September 2022
Deep, bright colour; a wine of tremendous presence, the whole bunch component
15-20%, 15 days on skins, 33% in concrete vessels, the balance in stainless steel
and used oak. A magical combination of techniques to produce blackberry, licorice
and dark chocolate flavours, the tannins almost silky.

James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion), September 2022
Hand-picked, half whole bunch-pressed to used French puncheons for
fermentation, the balance crushed into concrete tulip-shaped vessels before
maturation in used French puncheons. The blend of components give rise to
textured, layered citrus peel flavours sewn together by a shaft of glistening acidity
