The Wine Hunter, by Campbell Mattinson

14 Jan

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

This article was written by Campbell Mattinson, founder of The Winefront and mattinson, and former chief editor of Halliday.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. 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, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
