Wine Advocate on MMAD VINEYARD

Titre

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


Its clarity matches its freshness; 10% whole bunches, 90% whole berry, 20 days in Italian-made tulip-shapes concrete 4-tonne fermenters, maturated. 15 months in old French puncheons. The highly fragrant blend of cherry and plum drives a long, fine, elegant palate.

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
