Mendoza, Argentina
Mendoza in Argentina is home to over 75% of the nation’s vineyards, making it the largest wine region in the country. Nestled at the eastern foothills of the Andes, naturally it’s considered to be a cool-climate region, and perhaps unsurprisingly boasts some of the highest-altitude vineyards in the world.
Arguably, the star of the show here is Malbec – a varietal Argentina has championed domestically and on the world stage, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Chardonnay also widely planted.
Richard Mattner - Winemaker
Growing up in the Barossa Valley, winemaker Richard Mattner was never far from wine. His grandfather's vineyard at the highly-regarded Light Pass district was Richard's playground during the school holidays. Upon leaving school, Richard gained employment as a cellar hand and began a career in the wine industry in 1993. Richard was destined to be a winemaker and in 2004 he graduated from Charles Sturt University with Bachelor of Applied Science (Wine Science). Richard says winemaking is an art and just another way of creatively expressing himself. In addition to his passion for red wine, Richard has a keen interest in all things sports and loves nothing more than to relax with friends and enjoy a char-grilled scotch fillet on the barbeque perfectly matched with a bottle of wine, of course.
