Hamish has a great deal of play for the Sui Generis wines, with something different each year. The label here is made by artist PAW, and it's a great label for what is a really intriguing drink - made from Hilltops Montepulciano, this tangy, but joyful red is all bitter herbs and interesting contrasts. It's spicy, a bit earthy, but ultimately made for approachable drinking, ideally in a Good Pair Days tumbler at a picnic somewhere.

Mada is a pretty new operation, run by Hamish Young, who previously cut his teeth at famed winery Eden Road. This is Hamish's first foray out on his own, and he's off to a great start. Since 2016 he's been bottling slippery, juicy, eminently drinkable wines, with a focus on Riesling and Shiraz. He sources fruit from some great sites across the Canberra and Hilltops regions, and whilst his first releases were a smash hit with their colourful branding, the results get better and better with the newer wines. His wines show a fresher and more modern side of NSW wine, all about vibrant fruit and easy drinking. His gentle use of lees maturation and whole bunches generate texture without sacrificing freshness. There's an inherent spiciness to all the reds, but they aren't heavy at all - just perfumed and well balanced. Hamish is definitely a producer to watch for the future - one of the new crop shaking up the regional scene!
