Rouleur Wine Co – Yarra Valley & McLaren Vale, Victoria / South Australia

Inspired by exploration and a deep connection to vineyard sites, Rouleur Wine Co takes its name from cycling – a “Rouleur” being a rider who can go the distance, covering ground with strength, consistency, and purpose. For winemaker Matt East, it reflects years spent travelling between vineyards, discovering exceptional sites, and building relationships with growers – the true “Rouleur’s” of the wine world.
Working across premium regions including the Yarra Valley, Whitelands and McLaren Vale, the range spans Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Grenache, and Cabernet blends. The wines are crafted with a hands-on approach, using techniques like whole bunch and minimal intervention to let each site speak.

Winemaker Lucie Depuydt embodies the house philosophy of “viniculture” – the seamless link between work in the vineyard and craftsmanship in the cellar.
Born and raised in Chablis, Lucie brings a deep understanding of the region’s limestone soils and Chardonnay’s delicate aromatic potential. Like a jeweller shaping a gemstone, she carefully guides each stage of production to reveal the purity and precision that define Chablis.
