The Carlton Winemakers Studio

Matzinger Davies

Serious Wines Made by people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Acclaimed winemakers Anna Matzinger and Michael Davies, each with distinguished international careers, founded Matzinger Davies Wine Company as a deeply personal and creative venture—one rooted in craftsmanship, a profound sense of place, and a savvy sense of humor. With an elegant portfolio that speaks fluently of site and season, they craft wines of poise, integrity, and quiet complexity.

Focusing on small-lot Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley, and single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc and Grenache from the Columbia River Gorge, their wines are thoughtful interpretations of Oregon’s diverse landscapes. Every bottle reflects a harmonious balance between nature and nuance—shaped by years of experience, an intuitive approach, and a shared pursuit of excellence – and fun.

Anna, formerly winemaker and co-general manager at Archery Summit, and Michael, Executive Winemaker at REX HILL and A to Z Wineworks, bring not only technical mastery but a warm, approachable spirit to their work. Deeply community-oriented and genuinely welcoming, they are known for their generosity, curiosity, and the joy they find in connecting with others through wine.

Matzinger Davies is more than a label—it is a reflection of two individuals whose wines, like their character, are grounded, expressive, and quietly extraordinary.
