π· Mmad Vineyard Release! π·
There is an impressive pedigree behind MMAD Vineyard. The project brings together the people behind some of Australia's most respected wine names, including Shaw + Smith, Tolpuddle Vineyard and The Other Wine Co.
Their focus is a remarkable old-vine vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, a site with sandy soils, ironstone beneath the surface and cooling coastal breezes that help create wines with both concentration and freshness.
MMAD is very much about letting the vineyard do the talking. The Grenache vines date back to 1939, Shiraz to 1941 and Chenin Blanc to 1964. These remarkable old vines provide an incredible foundation for wines that combine perfume, texture, concentration and natural balance.
There is also something particularly exciting about the philosophy behind MMAD. Rather than simply chasing the richness often associated with McLaren Vale, the focus is on producing wines that reflect the vineyard with freshness, detail and restraint. The old vines, unique site and experienced team come together to create wines that are both distinctly McLaren Vale and incredibly individual.
Our latest MMAD release includes four wines:
π 2026 Rose
Fresh, vibrant and beautifully refreshing, with bright red fruits, delicate florals and crisp acidity.
π 2025 Chenin Blanc
Textural and energetic, with citrus, pear and green apple balanced by vibrant natural acidity.
π 2024 Grenache
A beautifully expressive old-vine Grenache showing red cherry, raspberry, floral and savoury complexity.
π 2024 Shiraz
Concentrated yet refined, with dark and blue fruits, spice, floral lift and beautifully structured tannins.
There is a real sense of place across the range, with each wine offering a different perspective on this remarkable corner of McLaren Vale.
