Our Winemakers

TWO CAN BE BETTER THAN ONE - Antoine Favero & Diane Wilson

In creating the Matrix wines, winemaker Antoine Favero works closely with winemaker Diane Wilson.  Both agree that the wines need to capture the spirit of the vineyard.  To do this, they use winemaking techniques such as cold soaking and employ traditional French techniques such as pigeage (punch down), remontage (pump over) and extended maceration, utilizing indigenous yeast whenever possible.  This elevates flavors and captures the essence of the grapes.
