Before a packed house at the Barrel Room at Tempus
Two in late May, Matt Burton, Winemaker for Wandin Valley Estate, was named the
Hunter Valley Rising Star of the Year for 2010. This year, the awards focused on
winners who not only excelled in their individual fields, but also who work
tirelessly to promote the Hunter Valley, ‘paving the way for the future in our
region.’
Matt joined Wandin Valley Estate as Assistant Winemaker in 2003
after working vintages in some of the world’s greatest wine regions. He became
Winemaker in 2004 and began managing the estate as a whole in 2006.
Matt
has been pretty busy, juggling Wandin Valley with his roles as wine show judge
and Vice President of the Lovedale Vignerons Association – who work so hard to
put on the fabulous Lovedale Long Lunch each year. He has also picked up 29
trophies and medals for his wines at shows around Australia, and with the
current crop of stunning 2010s already showing great promise the future looks
very bright for this rising star.
