These old vines, shaped by elevation, coastal breezes and a long growing season, deliver fruit of exceptional clarity and aromatic detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1005\" data-start=\"516\"\u003eFermented with a portion of whole bunches and matured in large seasoned oak, the wine is built on texture and restraint. The 2023 vintage, described as the coolest and latest to date, yielded a wine of brightness and precision with firm structure and enduring perfume. The MMAD project brings together Martin Shaw, Adam Wadewitz, Michael Hill-Smith MW and David LeMire MW with a shared focus on site expression and the preservation of old vine material through low-intervention winemaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1024\" data-start=\"1007\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1027\" data-start=\"1024\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1035\" data-start=\"1027\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1038\" data-start=\"1035\"\u003e– Bright and spicy\u003cbr data-end=\"1059\" data-start=\"1056\"\u003eCherry, plum and violets with musk, pepper and savoury earth beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1251\" data-start=\"1130\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1140\" data-start=\"1130\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1143\" data-start=\"1140\"\u003e– Silky and elegant\u003cbr data-end=\"1165\" data-start=\"1162\"\u003eRaspberry, pomegranate and redcurrant layered with spice, florals and mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1356\" data-start=\"1253\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1263\" data-start=\"1253\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1266\" data-start=\"1263\"\u003e– Long and refined\u003cbr data-end=\"1287\" data-start=\"1284\"\u003eFine tannins and red fruit linger with savoury spice and stony depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eSuper bright aromas of black pepper, florals, plum, cherry, maraschino and musk… lively acidity, fine tannins, and developing complexity—immediately engaging and compelling.\u003c\/em\u003e” – WinePilot (Jeni Port), 96 pts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eConcentrated, elegant, fine and compact palate, especially for a grenache.
