"Wanker winemaking here but full of deep thought and intention and I reckon I nailed it. The goal was a light red wine wine with structure. Gris to provide the fine detailed bony tannin structure. Fermented as whole bunches, inside old barrels and pressed after 5 months. Noir brings the bright fruit and opulent nose, fermented without stalks and pressed early to retain maximum red berried fruit character. Boom! Hectic lifted nose, like you eat with your eyes - I believe you can drink with your nose. I really love this as does Sam my wonderful partner in life. Her favourite variety of wine is “Light Red” and she is all over this like a rash!" - James
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.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
