Torzi Matthews

Torzi Matthews is a food and winemaking partnership between Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews. The two have passion and the firm conviction of appreciating the value of heritage and tradition in the crafting of their wines.

In 1996 they stumbled across a small, frost-pocketed hollow in the beautiful Mt McKenzie, Eden Valley and fell in love with the area for its remoteness and its diverse thin soils. The rationale was quite simple: this land would produce low yields of fruit which in turn would translate into flavoursome European style wines – the style of wines needed to match our Mediterranean food. We had plenty of detractors and lots of unsolicited advice, some good, some …well some people don’t have vision.

The vines went in, the frosts came, the yields were low and the wines were created. Self taught as a youngster it was quite natural being involved in the  production of wine for own consumption, with that confidence their wines are crafted via non-interventional Italian / European techniques that employs careful hand harvesting, whole bunch natural ferments, basket pressed and the use of fine grained French oak barrels.
