Master of Wine Picks: Nick Bullied

Nick Bulleid MW is one of Australia’s most respected wine experts, holding the prestigious title of Master of Wine—an honour shared by only 416 people worldwide and just 24 in Australia. Since the inception of BackVintage, Nick has played a vital role in independently reviewing and ensuring the quality of every wine they produce and sell.

With decades of experience, including roles in winemaking consultancy, wine judging, and teaching, Nick’s expertise is widely sought after. He’s a trusted industry voice, having taught wine evaluation at Charles Sturt University and co-authored Australian Winemaking, a key reference in the field.

Now living in Canberra, Nick tends his own small vineyard in the Southern Tablelands, all while continuing to guide winemakers and uphold his commitment to wine quality. His passion has earned him life membership with the Wine Press Club of New South Wales and a Fellowship with the Australian Society for Viticulture and Oenology.
