MMAD GRENACHE 2022

Style: Savoury & Detailed 

The old vines of Blewitt Springs are a precious resource and an important part of Australia¿s viticultural heritage. 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 Vineyard wines aim to reflect the unique terroir of Blewitt Springs and the rare old vines that grow there. MMAD

The grenache vines in the MMAD vineyard were planted in 1939. That¿s quite a year, in world terms, to begin your life. This wine was aged in old oak; no new oak was used. Truly beautiful grenache. Sweet and ripe but savoury and, even, crunchy with it. Best of many worlds. Woodsmoke, herbs, raspberry, cloves and a sweet earth character. The presser mentions pomegranate and it¿s a good call; it beings that seed-like crunch to the wine. Tannin is ultra fine and the finish is noteworthy. Blewitt Springs is a great place to grow red wine grapes and here, again, it¿s off and away, in full voice. (95) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
