Whilst all of my peers have long had holidays after a testing vintage, I'm still going! If the Botrytis wines from Adelaide Hills weren't so good I would have finished ages ago. The reality is the Bot Sem of Magpie Springs is stunning. At 19.2 Baumé and 3.6 pH the juice is golden, zesty and concentrated. Enjoying these type of wines during the cold is a buzz though means that "the Bedlam Wines nut case" is still crushing grapes in June.
Bedlam Wines is unique wine label as I produce each year what I'm inspired to. This means that I have no set list of wines, sort of like how your favorite restaurant changes its menu. I will be keeping a couple of wines "on the menu" when I am able to consistently get the fruit. Until then I'm a painter who crafts what inspires.
The wines that we will release shortly will reflect a Trinitarian balance of flavour, aroma and texture. Absolutely unique, but reflecting where they come from, who created them and in what circumstances. The process looks like Bedlam, especially during vintage, but I would prefer to refer to it as a fractal.
I hope you enjoy drinking my wines as much as I enjoy making them!

About Me
- Captain Bedlam
- I'm simply a bloke who hangs out in a shed making wine. One of the great thrills is to be inspired to expose flavours and aromas while crafting textures of wine into what is a symbiosis of Trinitarian balance.
