Crafted by Instinct,
Refined by Experience

The philosophy behind JDA Project is to craft a Rocks District Syrah that feels velvety, clean, and elegant, with depth and staying power. The goal is to avoid a heavy-handed “funky” profile and instead build complexity through umami and seductive aromatics, with a focus on purity.

Matt’s approach was shaped early through mentorship with Christophe Baron, where he learned the importance of developing a personal point of view and paying close attention to how a wine responds to different vessels. That curiosity still drives the process. Fermentations are native, and the élevage is chosen because it best serves the wine in a given year, not because it matches a fixed recipe.
