Madden Morris, Chief Winemaker
Following in his father’s footsteps, Madden Morris is the sixth-generation Chief Winemaker at Morris of Rutherglen. Growing up walking around the Cellar and tasting Muscats, Madden considers Rutherglen his home, noting that the region’s supportive community is at the winery’s heart. Employing a simple winemaking philosophy of ‘It’s easier to get it right the first time’, Madden finds that taking the time to initially perfect a wine is the key step to an effective winemaking approach.
