Description

Hamish Young’s Mada Blanc is an expressive blend that shows off his knack for crafting fresh, characterful wines.

This vintage combines Pinot Gris (44%), Gewürztraminer (34%), and Riesling (22%), all sourced from the esteemed Freeman Vineyard in the Hilltops region. Gewürztraminer leads with aromas of lychee, musk stick, and Turkish delight, while Riesling adds focus and acidity. Pinot Gris ties it all together with a textured, fruit-driven mid-palate, made even more intriguing by a touch of tannin from careful pressing.

Fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures, it’s aromatic, balanced, and packed with personality. The 2024 Mada Blanc is Hamish Young’s take on a modern Australian white: easy to enjoy but far from ordinary.

Great value drinking as always from this Canberra-based gun winemaker.

Mada Wines

Mada wines sees ex-Eden Road operational winemaker Hamish Young venture out on his own for the first time.

Sourcing fruit from some great sites across the Canberra and Hilltops regions, his first releases were a smash hit and his star continues to rise.

His wines show a fresher and more modern side of NSW wine, all about vibrant fruit and ease of drinking. He looks for texture in his aromatic whites, freshness in his delightful red wines, each release sees him refine his own 'house style' a little more.

This is a Canberra producer to watch for the future - one of the new crop shaking up the regional scene.

As Mike Bennie once said, "Mada Wines should be put on your list of wines to watch, or indeed to buy a bit of....then probably a lot of."
