MMAD Rose 2026
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
Blewitt Springs based MMAD is quite the all-star act. The mature vineyard site was acquired in 2021 by Michael Hill Smith MW, Martin Shaw, Adam Wadewitz, and David LeMire MW (the initials forming MMAD). The 16.5 hectare site features 87yr old Grenache vines, 85yr Shiraz and super old, in relative terms, Chenin at 62yrs of age.
The Rose, sourced from historic vines planted in deep Maslin sands over ironstone pebbles, is a field blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc. It is dry, textural, and beautifully aromatic. Expect lifted aromas of violets, blood orange, and subtle spice, balanced by vibrant fruit intensity, a savoury edge, and a fresh, lingering finish.
"This is the MMAD wine that has seen the most evolution, though it feels like the style is now firmly established. Grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc – once again, a snapshot of the vineyard. Classic rose gold, and prettily fragrant, but with savouriness and intensity the driving forces. It’s meaningfully layered, with sour cherries and red berries, watermelon, wild dried herbs, red aperitivo notes, crushed rose petals, hints of spice down the cinnamon and sumac line, green cardamom even, a little exotic, fragrant. There’s pithiness, texture, appealing fruit weight and excellent length. I keep saying this, but rosé needs to be taken a lot more seriously. This is a serious, and seriously enjoyable, wine." 96pts | Marcus Ellis | Halliday Wine Companion
