About the winemaker

Cousins Anthony Neilson and Matt Anderson founded MAAN Wines in 2014, after many years of working in every corner of the wine world - as far away as St. Emilion in Bordeaux and the Santa Ynez Valley in California, and closer to home in Adelaide Hills, the Clare Valley and Margaret River. Settling in McLaren Vale, their focus is on producing small batch, handmade wines that showcase the best that the Vale has to offer. In the vineyard and winery things are kept as simple as possible. All fruit is basket-pressed, an old school method which ensures a soft press and treats the wine with a lot of finesse, then fermented with wild yeast and allowed only a touch of oak to retain freshness and fruit. The Rosé undergoes batonage, delivering mouthfeel and texture. Finally, all wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
