2023 Matt Connell Lowburn Chardonnay

Its Origins

Matt Connell and his wife Beth have been involved in the wine industry since 2000 and Matt Connell Wines is a culmination of the experience gained throughout their lives. Matt had many years in hospitality management developing his palate. He made the leap and earned a Postgraduate Diploma of Viticulture and Oenology before making a personal quest to work and learn alongside some of the best winemakers in the industry here and overseas. In the meantime, Beth was learning the business side of the industry with a Postgraduate Diploma of Horticulture Management from Lincoln and working as a Management Accountant for many different wineries. The energy behind Matt Connell Wines is the relationships we have with everyone involved with our business, especially our growers and our customers. Being a smaller wine company enables the flexibility to do business differently, from the wine styles we create, our label design, limited quantities, and the line in the sand we draw for the appropriate timing of vintage releases.
