    • Description

      An expressive and florally attractive Chenin from some super-old vines in Blewitt Springs.

      The MMAD Chenin Blanc is rich and ripe, with a youthful nose but the solid structure that comes from old vines.

      The Chenin vines are the "babies" of the MMAD vineyard, planted in 1964. Those decades of growth help to explain the complexities on offer. The other explanation is the diversity of winemaking techniques: whole bunches pressed to French oak puncheons, and crushed fruit fermented in concrete with some skin contact.

    MMAD Vineyard

    MMAD Vineyard stands as the culmination of a dynamic partnership forged by four esteemed wine professionals: Martin Shaw, Michael Hill Smith MW, Adam Wadewitz, and David LeMire MW. This quartet brings together a wealth of expertise and a shared passion for crafting exceptional wines.

    Rooted in familial ties, Michael and Martin, cousins by blood, embarked on their winemaking journey together with the establishment of the renowned Adelaide Hills winery Shaw + Smith in 1989. This venture marked the genesis of their collaborative success in the world of wine.

    At the helm of Shaw + Smith, Adam and David assume the roles of co-CEOs, orchestrating a seamless blend of innovation and tradition. Adam, a visionary Chief Winemaker, masterfully guides the winemaking process, while David, as Head of Sales and Marketing, skillfully navigates the market landscape, ensuring Shaw + Smith's wines reach discerning enthusiasts worldwide.

    Building on their shared vision and collective expertise, Michael, Martin, Adam, and David have embarked on numerous ventures, with a focus on single-vineyard projects. Their endeavors include the prestigious Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania, as well as the esteemed Shaw + Smith single vineyard wines hailing from Balhannah and Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. Now, their collaborative spirit finds expression in the exciting venture of Blewitt Springs, where MMAD Vineyard promises to unveil wines of unparalleled quality and character.

    Through their dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to the craft, MMAD Vineyard emerges as a testament to the power of collaboration and a celebration of the artistry of winemaking.
