For the past 25 years Campbell Mattinson has been helping people find the best wines, for the best reasons. He’s the former chief editor of Halliday Wine Companion and is the founder of leading Australian wine review site, The Winefront. In 2022 he published a novel. He’s both a wine critic and a writer, which means that he’s happy to put a score on a wine, but he’s even happier when he’s telling its story.
His Mattinson. site started out as an online wine magazine but has slowly broadened into wine travel, spirits and photography. The Mattinson. site remains at heart an outlet for wine stories. This site started in June 2024; unique visits to this site grew 3194% (amazing but true) year-on-year (to June 2025). Basically, this site’s audience is doubling every three months.
Campbell Mattinson has been a journalist since 1987, and has worked in the media ever since. He’s written on wine for over 25 years. He’s won awards as a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, as a photographer and as a filmmaker.
