Featured Winery - Mad Fish

The story of Madfish begins in the southern parts of of Western Australia in the picturesque Madfish Bay. According to local folklore, the peace of Madfish Bay is broken when two tides meet resulting in schools of small fish going mad. The fish jump and race to avoid being eaten by hungry, larger fish.

The Madfish label, produced by Howard Park, offers pure, fresh and clean fruit driven wines that are often seen gracing the tables at backyard barbeques from Broome to Rottnest Island on the coast of Western Australia. Its following is mirrored in Sydney and Melbourne where Madfish devotees are keen to share in a taste of the enviable lifestyle of the west coast.

The Madfish label was first released in 1992 with the Madfish White, followed by the Madfish Red in 1993. Today they produce a number of styles, namely the much-lauded Madfish Chardonnay and Shiraz. These contemporary styles are made from cool climate fruit with an emphasis on enjoyment and drinkability.

As the story suggests, the Madfish name is derived from the picturesque Madfish Bay near the Howard Park Great Southern winery. The traditional water turtle design on the label is a symbol of perseverance, no doubt a trait displayed by the poor fish in Madfish Bay who are constantly under attack by their predators.
