Matt grew up on a farm in the Yarra Valley surrounded by vineyards; his Dad, an airline pilot turned farmer, planted a vineyard on their family home in Coldstream, which set the path for Matt into a career in wine. His early career was in sales and marketing, but in 2015, he left his full-time position to pursue his personal goal of creating his own label and making wine from the family vineyard his Dad planted in 1984, and Rouleur was born. Since its inception, the label has grown, and it now produces wine sourced from various sites across the Yarra Valley and McLaren Vale, but the home base and tasting room is in North Melbourne. His wines capture the region, variety and vintage from which they come clearly and harness the fruit's natural acidity, freshness and flavour.
