Maxwell of McLaren Vale: White wines
2010 Little Demon Verdelho
The name: In 1871 Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell proposed a thought experiment, that involved a hypothetical creature acting as a gatekeeper between two compartments to sort gas molecules according to their speed.At first glance, such a system could potentially create energy from nothing… theoretically impossible given the laws of physics. This hypothetical gatekeeper became known to physicists as Maxwell’s Little Demon, and has stirred debate in the science community for more than a century.
The wine: This vibrant white wine has aromas of pear, crisp apple and lime with a delicate floral note. The zesty palate reveals bright citrus flavours. Made as an unwooded dry style, the result is both mouth-filling and persistent, with refreshing natural acidity creating a delicious, crisp wine.
The name: It was a straightforward decision to simply refer to this wine via its origin.The Adelaide Hills wine region neighbours McLaren Vale, and is in its own right a world-class region, being the home to many of Australia’s best white wines, including Chardonnay. These hills provide more elevated and cooler sites for viticulture, producing wines with good natural acid, structure and elegance.
2010 Where’s Molly Rosé
The name: Molly, a much loved German Shorthaired Pointer, was a gracious hostess at the Maxwell Winery cellar door. Not only was she very adept at disappearing quietly after greeting visitors to the winery, in her younger days she would wander the vineyards of McLaren Vale far and wide. Though she might not have necessarily known it, the question was often asked… “Where’s Molly?” A fun label for a fun wine, with over 40 photographs of dogs, it really is a case of “Where’s Molly?” on the label too! Many of the dogs featured are pets of our cellar door members - with the owners kind enough to send us some terrific images to make this label possible. There is a subtle clue included on the label to help in locating Molly, just to keep everyone busy while enjoying the contents...

The wine: Layered and elegant. The refined palate is persistent in flavour with a clean minerality, while lees stirring has added a delightful texture, creating a wine of balance, complexity and length. A superbly balanced Chardonnay that captures the essence of its cool-climate origin.
