Description

The Sui Generis range at Mada Wines emerges from Hamish Young's perpetual thirst for discovery. I

n this collection, no two wines are alike, offering an open canvas for exploring diverse grape varieties, vineyard terroirs, and winemaking techniques. Each bottle represents not just a product, but a journey of forging connections and partnerships with local artists and innovators.

In this particular release, the eighth installment in the Sui Generis lineup, Hamish delivers a cheeky take on Rosé, blending carbonic Pinot Gris with luscious Muscat d’Alexandria juice.

Is it a rose? Is it an 'orange' wine? Whatever it is, it's damn fine to drink when you want something with a good amount of texture and flavour that you can throw in the fridge.

Our Sui Generis range is born from a desire to keep exploring. With no Sui Generis wine ever being the same, we’re given an empty canvas to look at new varieties, vineyard sites, and wine styles. With each wine we build new friendships through collaborations with local creatives.

This wine, being the eighth Sui Generis release, is a playful expression of Rosé with carbonic Pinot Gris covered in Muscat d’Alexandria juice. The result is perfumed and elegant with underlying richness.

About the artist:
Jess Herrington is a creative artist and designer working with new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). She is also a neuroscientist specialising in human visual perception. In her creative work, Jess explores digital sensory experiences such as touch, taste, scent, vision and sound. She creates surreal worlds, exploring how we can represent ourselves in the age of the internet. Jess believes in the power of AI as a tool to amplify human creativity, rather than replace it. Her experimental approach often revolves around altering how we see ourselves and others through play and interaction.

About the work:

In this project taste descriptors from the wine were used as a basis for word prompts to develop a range of sample images using AI. The wine taste descriptors included key words like: Quince, ginger, chai tea. Big Melon hit. Tear drop mouthfeel, with an almost powdery pink marshmallow texture late. These prompts were developed with an emphasis on rendering seductive yet contrasting visual textures reminiscent of the taste of the wine. Jess then created and reworked a small series of images using Dalle and Stable Diffusion (deep-learning AI models), as well as passing them through other AI systems (often reworking images back and forth, many times in some cases). For the video, the original prompt was again re-worked and tailored to Disco Diffusion – an AI video tool. Each frame was created individually which was then put together as a video sequence.

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."

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
