WINEMAKER: James Madden
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETAL: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

An ode to past picking for natural acidity. As the name suggests driven by some racy acidity. The 96 and 75 clone bring golden delicious fruit to fill the mid palate. Cherryville Chardonnay adds a tensile white quartz acidity. Forest Range Gris adds some crunchy waxy green apple texture.

Sommelier-turned-winemaker James Madden has worked with the likes of James Erskine (Jauma) and Tom Shobbrook. He now shares a shed in the Basket Range with Alex Schulkin (The Other Right) to produce his own minimal intervention wines. All grapes are organic and/or biodynamic, handpicked and processed by shovel & fork. Wines are transferred by siphon using gravity, unfined, unfiltered and always zero adds.
