Critic reviews

The Wine Front – This is ballistically good. I doubt that I’ll taste anything much better from these shores over the next 12 months. The first thing you notice is the plushness, which is always welcome, but it’s the the finish that takes things to eleven. Wow, really, this wine has a show-stopping finish on it. It’s blessed with red and blue berry flavours, cedarwood, roasted spice and earth, but itemising the flavours of this wine kind of misses the point. It’s like focussing on the colour of a tidal wave. The complete and utter command of the final flourish of flavour and tannin here feels, as you swallow, like a high water mark. I’m sold, totally sold, on this wine. - Campbell Mattinson, 29 February 2024

James Halliday – The second release of the MMAD Vineyard label, and off its 1939 planted Blewitt Springs vineyard. About 15% whole bunches, fermented in wood and steel, maturation in concrete and large old French oak. Unlike the 2022 shiraz, this takes time to emerge from the glass. It’s all there, though. There’s a brooding quality at present, with nori, iodine and ferrous notes filtering up through dark red cherry, plum, raspberry and sultry florals. Some spicy, musky characters emerge with air. Tannin is a meaningful factor, a pleasingly natural grape-derived affair, rugged but never rustic. A seriously compelling wine, and further proof of how thrilling McLaren Vale grenache is right now, for both its quality and the unparalleled diversity in top-flight expressions. - Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

Decanter – Soft aromas of gunsmoke and red berries. Extraordinary drive and persistence in this nimble-footed, medium-bodied wine, sourced from a sandy vineyard planted in 1939. The lean cherry and firm wild raspberry flavours have great length, bound by sober tannins. - David Sly, 18 March 2024

Huon Hooke – Deep, bright red-purple colour with dominant nutmeg-spice aromas, and a full-bodied, firm palate that seems tight and a little unresolved at this stage. It's firm and deep, and looks to have more to reveal if given time. Certainly the concentration and palate length are very promising. A serious grenache!

About this Wine

96 POINTS - Wine Pilot, Shanteh Wale
"15% whole bunches fermented in oak and stainless steel. Maturation in concrete and seasoned French oak barrels. Lavender and Forget Me Not florals, blueberry skin and Mirabelle plums. Cocoa nib, Hhawthorn and shiso leaf. Crinkle cut tannins and puckering acidity. The palate is linear with the stretch of a slinky. A subtle hint of poppy seed and kampot pepper on the finish. A wine to outlast many a tik tok trend, this will age gracefully and those brooding spices will unfurl. Drink now but will reward with 5-8 years cellaring. A wine that would look pretty smick with duck pancakes." 22 March 2024

Located in the dress circle of Blewitt Springs, MMAD Vineyard has Grenache that was first planted in 1939, as well as Shiraz and Chenin Blanc, the oldest of which were planted in 1941 and 1964 respectively. The vineyard has the fine Maslin sands found in Blewitt Springs, and is exposed to the fresh sea breezes from the south-west. Below the sand is a layer of ironstone pebbles, and this combination of sand, ironstone, and cooling winds gives both perfume and structure to the wines.

The old vines of Blewitt Springs are a precious resource, and an important part of Australia’s viticultural history. In early 2021, MMAD Vineyard was purchased by a quartet made up of winemakers Martin Shaw and Adam Wadewitz, and Masters of Wine Michael Hill Smith and David LeMire. MMAD takes its name from their first initials. The MMAD wines aim to reflect the unique terroir of Blewitt Springs and the rare old vines that thrive there.

An ethereal drop

Better the second day after opening, this is proof that I'm Australia Grenache can deliver what Pinot promises. A Burgundian dance across the tongue. So special
