Description
WINEMAKER: James Madden
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
James Madden has achieved a remarkable milestone with his latest Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir. His pursuit for achieving optimum physiological ripeness while staying true to crafting a genuine expression of Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills has resulted in one of his best wines yet. It's a testament to his craftsmanship and understanding of the grape variety and the unique terroir of the region. A steep sloping vineyard, farmed organically and intuitively rather than to the calendar with respect to the environment. Scintilla's 2022 vintage Mountain is a wine that embodies the best of both worlds—a Pinot Noir that exudes ripe characteristics while still maintaining the freshness and distinctive qualities associated with the Adelaide Hills terroir.
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.
