Madson wines are rooted in respect for nature and the vineyard. Farming quality wine grapes is their highest priority. Founder Cole Thomas' love for wine originates from his passion for agriculture. Prior to his career in wine, he worked as an organic vegetable farmer, as an edible landscaper, and as manager of the Demeter Seed Library (a non-profit seed saving project). Work is done hand-in-hand with their growers, cultivating not only vines but a collaborative expression of origin in the wines. The fruit was fermented whole-cluster (semi-carbonic) and then aged in neutral oak barrels for 9 months. Monterey Bay's climactic influence is apparent as the fruit is light and perfumed and coastal complexity.
