The Wine Hunter, by Campbell Mattinson

The Wine Hunter book has just gone into its fifth re-print. It was the winner of the Best Wine Book award at the Wine Communicator Awards and was the reason that I won my second Wine Communicator of the Year award. Each re-print has seen the book updated slightly (the previous two re-prints have included a new chapter). Of all the words I’ve written on wine, The Wine Hunter’s words remain dearest to me (and of all the people in wine that I’ve written about, Maurice O’Shea remains my number one).

Despite the number of re-prints, I sold out of physical copies of this book some time ago. The Mount Pleasant winery may still have copies. Electronic copies are available via various platforms, including but not limited to:
Apple Books
Amazon Kindle

The Wine Hunter book, by Campbell Mattinson.

Campbell Mattinson

This article was written by Campbell Mattinson, former chief editor of the Halliday Wine Companion book, former editor of Halliday magazine, former editor of Australian Sommelier Magazine and founder of the highly respected The Winefront site.

Mattinson has been an independent wine critic and photo-journalist since 1987. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award; is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter; and is the author of the best-selling novel We Were Not Men. He’s also a winner of a St Kilda Film Festival Award (as writer-director) and is a former winner of the prized Best Australian Sports Writing Award.

Mattinson, who is 100% independent, puts a score out of 100 on every wine that he reviews. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
