Description

Mountain View is Hamish Young’s top white, sourced from a high, windswept vineyard in Tumbarumba – one of the coolest and most exciting Chardonnay regions in the country. The site’s altitude and granite soils give him fruit with serious line and purity, and in 2024, everything came together beautifully.

Hamish keeps the winemaking simple: whole-bunch press, wild ferment, and ageing on lees in mostly old French oak. No tricks, no heavy oak, just patience and detail to let the vineyard shine.

It’s tight and energetic, with citrus, white peach and a hint of struck match. There’s texture from the lees, a touch of grip, and a clean, stony finish that feels straight out of the mountains. It’s elegant but not shy – proper Tumbarumba Chardonnay with that unmistakable Mada touch.

Just acid and oak flavoured water

Not my cup of tea. Just a sparkling base with oak added to it.

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."

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.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

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.
