UN PO' (meaning 'a little'/'a little bit') has been Matt's personal wine pseudonym in Europe since 2020, celebrating the joys of small batch, 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 he has always loved to make and drink. Matt's UN PO' project has been the driving force and learning place that led to our commitment since 2024 to make all Minimum wines 100% natural wines (no sulphur, no additions, just wild fermented organic grapes from now on).

 

 

Back in 2017, as the embryonic idea of Minimum was emerging from their consciousness, Matt & Lentil began to visit Italy, Matt's ancestral home. By 2019, with Minimum about to launch, they were too hooked and moved their home there, vowing to return for the Australian harvest each year. They lived in Bosa, on the wild West coast of Sardegna for 3 years and owned a 1/3-acre home vineyard, or vignetto, which contained at least 10 varieties (the 80-year old man that sold them the land couldn't remember exactly how many, but he attempted to write out a list, which contained many obscure Sardinian red varieties Matt had never before heard of!).

 

 

Post-covid, Matt and Lentil moved to Berlin, after an unplanned visit to friends turned into a love affair with the city. They continued to return to Italy and their Bosa home, and in 2022 Matt began making wine in Tuscany with Berlin brother @MarcoOhboy, as well as continuing to return to Australia to make wine for Minimum each harvest.

 

 

 

 

That 2022 UN PO' harvest, dubbed Casa Cantina, had to be smuggled into Germany from Italy because Matt & Marco had illegally made it in Marco's family's abandoned holiday home by the sea in Southern Tuscany. The underground release of two orange Trebbiano's and two bold Sangiovese's cemented Matt in the Berlin natural wine scene, and quickly sold out (you can learn more about UN PO' to this point here).

 

 

 

 

Then, in 2024, UN PO' got real. Matt partnered with dear friends of friends Luca, Evie, Erin and Massi, who had just bought an organic winery one valley over from Montalcino, in the wild Tuscan Maremma. They called it Atavica. This time everything was above board. Matt lead the harvest for the new team of friends in their classic Tuscan cantina between morning and evening Mediterranean swims.

 

 

 

 

Shortly after that harvest, Matt and Lentil decided it was time to return to Australia to share all the lessons they had learned. As part of that return journey, they decided to bring back Matt's entire portion of the wines he made at Atavica in 2024. Those six, completely natural wines, were bottled in June 2025 by the Atavica crew, and driven to a big boat. They are now on their way to us here.

 

 

 

 

Come October, they will arrive. We can't wait to share them with you.
