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.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim (2021 vintage)
“This is gracefully opulent and enticing with golden peach, lemon pith, vanillin oak and sweet pasty notes on the nose. The concentrated palate delivers outstanding weight and richly textured mouthfeel, brilliantly framed by refreshing acidity, finishing wonderfully long and delectable.”
94/100 Bob Campbell MW (2023 vintage)
"Crisp, dry and refreshing chardonnay with pronounced saline/oyster shell characters. Burgundy-like power and purity supported by tangy acidity that helps drive a lengthy finish. A classic Central Otago chardonnay."
