Matt’s one of the region’s most highly awarded winemakers and this is his solo pinot project after tenure at Olssens and Akarua. Produced from fruit grown in Bendigo and Lowburn, it’s bottled with a label designed by Taranaki artist Andrew J Steel, whose depicted Matt’s ‘meaningful things’ (expect dogs, fish, goats, guns etc..) Oozing savoury aromatics, seasoned leather, baked cherries, hedgerow herbs and spicy intensity, it’s a seriously sexy wine indeed.
Sip with: Roast wild pork leg
