About.
UN PO' is the personal wine pseudonym of Matt Purbrick from Minimum Wines, celebrating the joys of truly natural ancestral winemaking—i.e. only wild fermented organically grown grapes, no additives, sulphur or control, pure energy & feeling—because these are the wines that I love to make and drink.
I made the first wine for this project, Soft Soft Big Big, in Australia in 2020, from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on Yorta Yorta Country. The second UN PO’ wine was made in 2022 from the first harvest of Fiano grapes we grafted onto the same Yorta Yorta vineyard back in 2020. That wine, The Moon Is An Apricot, was released Australia-wide via our Minimum shop and is now sold out.
Except for Australian harvest time, I have been EU-based since 2019—between Italy and Berlin—and have made my latest releases for this project in Italy, my ancestral home. In 2022 Berlin friend, fellow Scorpio (actually we share our birthday) and Italian brother, Marco, created Tuscan project, Casa Cantina. These wines were sold in select bars & shops in Berlin and have now also sold out.
My most recent project, carefully fermented in 2024, is with Luca, Massi, Erin and Evi, friends from further south in Tuscany, in the Maremma. I wanted to share the cross-polination of Europe and my birthplace, Australia, so the plan is for these wines to be released in Australia this time, via Minimum. We are just putting the finishing touches on these releases. I can’t wait to share them with you. Follow along on Instagram to keep in touch with that project.
If you have any questions, you can reach me here. Thanks for following along :)
UN PO' = a little // a little bit.
