Madden Morris
Following in his Father's footsteps, Madden Morris, sixth-generation Chief Winemaker, grew up immersed in the winery he still calls home, at Morris of Rutherglen. With experience at Rutherglen Estates, Chapoutier in the Rhone Valley, and Casella Family Brands in Yenda, Madden employs the simple winemaking philosophy of "it's easier to get it right the first time".
He enjoys the vintage period for its role in shaping wine and reflecting on the year’s successes and challenges. Madden appreciates richness and balance in wines and heavily peated, smoky whisky. Influenced by his father and grandfather, David and Mick Morris, Madden blends tradition with a forward-looking approach in his winemaking journey.

Over six generations of craftsmanship in winemaking, blending and ageing passed down through bloodlines from father to son has allowed them to truly master the creation of extraordinary flavour in their single malts. It’s the barrels and unique natural terroir that gift the distinctive flavours and an unrivalled Australian Whisky Experience.
Excellence since 1859. Whisky for today.
