Our People

They say that it is the people who make a business. Who "they" are has always been unclear to me, but "they" certainly are right.

Sure a winery is about the vine and the wine, the terroir and the climate, but never underestimate the importance of the animated human versus the inanimate object.

People are the heart and soul of the wine industry. People tend the vines lovingly throughout the year. People meld and coerce the finest qualities out of the fruit and after all it is people that meet you with a smile and a glass of Vues Sparkling when you walk in our front door.

So who are these people.

Matthew is a face most visitors to the cellar door will recognise. He tends to be loud and pushy and it is said that he never shuts up. In fact the staff claim to have heard him talk under water with ice in his mouth. He too has enjoyed time at other local operations previously managing T'Gallant's restaurant and Mantons Creek. As Matthew often says when pressed, "he has been at the rest it was time to move to the best". The fact that he still calls Tuck's Ridge home speaks volumes for how good an operation it is and how beautifully the glove fits.
