Italian Wine Podcast Ep. 1132 Matt Fowles | Uncorked
Welcome to episode 1132, in which host Polly Hammond interviews Matt Fowles, this week on Uncorked.
This week, we welcome Matt Fowles, a former lawyer who became a winemaker. He is an avid food and wine man. While his chief responsibility is the business of wine, he spends much of his time feeding his connection to the Strathbogie Ranges. Whether that is time in the vineyard, playing with wine or hunting for his table – he truly understands this land. In 2007, Matt was selected as part of the ‘Future Leaders’ program aimed at fostering the next generation of wine industry leaders. The program is run by peak industry bodies; the Winemakers’ Federation of Australia and Wine Australia. Matt now sits with the Winemakers’ Federation of Australia.
