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 names from their first initials. The MMAD wines aim to reflect the unique terroir of Blewitt Springs and the rare old vines that thrive there, namely the Grenache planted in 1939, Shiraz planted in 1942 and Chenin Blanc planted in 1964.

This is a blend of all estate varieties – Grenache, Shiraz and Chenin Blanc.

A delicate and dry Rosé with lifted aromas of violets and blood orange. The palate is textural and flavourful, with vibrant fruit and savoury spice. Good extract and acidity give this wine shape, and a subtle saline edge drives freshness. Finishes with tension and a touch of grip.
