There is a richness and density of fruit on the mid-palate that reflects another year of our farming the vineyard, and lower yields. We are starting to uncover the full potential of these old vines. A mix of crushed and whole bunch pressed fruit was fermented in both concrete and large format old oak bring texture to the wine. The textured palate is balanced with a mineral, saline edge and long, pithy finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMMAD Vineyard is a partnership of Martin Shaw, Michael Hill Smith MW, Adam Wadewitz, and David LeMire MW. • 100% single vineyard wines from the MMAD Vineyard, perfectly located in the dress circle of Blewitt Springs. • The vineyard has some of the oldest plantings in Blewitt Springs, with grenache planted in 1939, shiraz in 1941, and chenin blanc in 1964. • Blewitt Springs combines sandy soil, which enhances aromatics, and cool sea breezes that maintain freshness. MMAD Vineyard also has a layer of ironstone pebbles beneath the sand, which contributes to the wines’ structure and complexity. • The 2022 Chenin Blanc recently won best white wine at the 2023 McLaren Vale wine show, with MMAD Vineyard taking out best small producer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MMAD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44866061893794,"sku":"9359557302725","price":54.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/5_e17f0f6c-cd53-4b36-ab36-0071cf239641.png?v=1724736355","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2023-mmad-chenin-blanc","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
