Matt Kilby, Winemaker
Matt Kilby comes with well over a decade of experience in the wine industry. Fresh out of high school, Matts first job was in liquor retail and it is there that the love affair with wine began. Years exploring the classic varieties and iconic Australian regions laid the foundation for a passion for wine that never really let go.
Matt is a firm believer in wines that ‘tell a story’ –
“The concept of terroir is that whatever inputs go into making wine are ultimately borne out in the final product. Everything from the formation of the land in which the fruit is grown through to the individual season and the influence of the winemaker can be seen in a glass of wine.”
With Matt’s expert guidance, the Michelini family’s Buckland Valley vineyards and winemaking traditions of some 150 years provide a heritage that will continue to be honored under the Michelini label.
