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

Winemaker notes on current 2024 vintage

"Cherry red in colour. The nose shows a pronounced floral character with some more savoury mocha, oak and spice notes. The palate is complex with a good concentration of red and dark fruits, it is juicy with fine tannins and spice and a long elegant finish. This is a beautifully balanced wine with layers of flavour that is drinking beautifully young but will also reward cellaring.Rendition is a blend of Central Otago vineyards and subregions. My quintessential Central Otago Pinot Noir, my Rendition of a given vintage. The 2024 Rendition Cuvee is blended from ultra premium fruit sourced from Lowburn, Bendigo, Gibbston and Bannockburn vineyards."

96/100 Bob Campbell MW (2021 Vintage)

“Elegant pinot with pronounced floral, red rose, violet characters together with cherry, spice and subtle nutty oak. A blend of wines with Bendigo providing power and Lowburn contributing finesse. Delicious pinot that should develop well with bottle age.” Drink 2022 - 2035
