The Good Doctor

Matt started his winemaking journey in Redheads Studio McLaren Vale with a collective of like-minded souls under the direction of Alpha Box & Dice founder Justin Lane and La Curio winemaker Adam Hooper back in 2004, where the first of the Good Doctor’s Tonic was bottled.

In 2009 divine intervention landed Matt on a 40 acre plot of dirt covered in grape vines at the base of the Willunga foothills, already the home to shiraz and cabernet planted from 1995-96. He had the joy of chain sawing sauvignon blanc to make way for grafting mourvedre and tannat in 2009.

As Matt got to know the vineyard more and under the watchful tutelage of esteemed viticulturalist Richard Leaske, the region’s Mediterranean micro-climate led him to plant some beautiful alternative varieties in montepulciano and carignan, perfectly suited to his land.
