Praeter 'Yellow Flower' Pecorino 2025

Matt Large, is a busy man, but at the core of his pursuit, is his own brand Praeter, the name of which is a nod to the idea that wine is an extension and amplification of the expression of nature.

Matt is an intuitive winemaker, always seeking to create precise and sensitive wines that clearly express a sense of place, while employing best-practice sustainable viticulture. This talent was recognised early in his career and led to a relatively rapid ascension through the winemaking ranks. Having previously worked as Assistant Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Shadowfax Winery – across their Macedon Ranges sites - Matt has recently accepted a role as senior winemaker at Shaw + Smith and Tolpuddle Vineyard under Adam Wadewitz.
