Madeleine Horrigan DipWSET
Maddy has over 10 years’ experience working with wine, spanning different sectors, countries and cultures.
She grew up around the industry and discovered her interest in wine while working for her family’s business: Pimpernel Vineyards, a boutique producer of Yarra Valley wines. Her passion continued to grow while living and working in Europe as a sommelier in Hamburg; then in the UK, where she completed the WSET Diploma in 2019 while working with leading importer Indigo Wine.
Since returning to Melbourne, Maddy has concentrated my professional efforts on wine communication as a specialist copywriter and freelance wine writer. She is currently enrolled in the rigorous Master of Wine programme and continues to refine her skills and knowledge to provide engaging wine education and content.
When her nose isn't in a glass, it's in a book – preferably a cookbook, phrasebook, or travel guide – planning my next trip to a far-flung location to indulge her love for travel, food and fine wine.
