WHY SMIDGE?
Smidge is a small, hands-on winery in McLaren Vale, led by Matt Wenk, one of Australia’s most accomplished winemakers.
The wines come from a sustainably grown vineyard and are made, matured, bottled and stored on site. The winery is powered by renewable energy, backed by battery storage, and the site is a net exporter of energy.
Keeping everything under one roof asks more of a small winery, but it allows a level of care, control and continuity that matters. Every extra movement in wine carries some risk. The aim here is to keep the line from vineyard to bottle as clear and intact as possible.
