Our Review
The McWilliam's brand and Hanwood Vineyard was purchased by Calabria wines in '21 (McWilliam’s Mount Pleasant winery and vineyards were bought by Medich Family Office). The exceptional-value offerings of Hanwood Estate in Griffith remain anchors of the brand. Yet McWilliam’s viticultural resources have expanded to include Hilltops, Tumbarumba and Canberra whence wines of considerable detail, cool-climate clarity and exceptional value are crafted under the aegis of chief winemaker Russell Cody. While the Single Vineyard suite sets the pace, the 660 range is brilliant, defined by a series of wines that are surely among the country’s greatest bargains. A new cellar door opens mid-'23. -NED GOODWIN MW
