I saw Georgia but for five days. I’ll love it forever, and will forever wish to return. This is a photo-essay of a brief journey into Georgian wine.
As they say in Georgia, “we are the oldest wine culture in the world, and the newest”. The former because wine has existed in Georgia for 8000 years. The latter because the wine world is still discovering its rightful place as the home and heartland of wine.
Campbell Mattinson has been an independent journalist, wine critic and photographer for forty years. He founded The Winefront, is a former chief editor of the Halliday Wine Companion (and former editor of Halliday magazine), and is the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He is 100% independent, and tastes between 5,000 and 10,000 wines each year, blind and in comparative brackets as often as is practicable.
Mattinson is also the founder of the Mattinson Photography business.
