Australia’s Hunter Valley has a viticultural history dating back to the early 19th century, with long sunny days and cool bright evenings allowing the region’s grapes to experience a long and natural ripening process. This is why the McGuigan family have been producing wine here for more than 100 years. Since then, they’ve kept one foot in the Hunter while also expanding into the vast growing region of south-east Australia.

Along the way, they’ve continued to produce many favourite everyday wines – from whites such as the light and peachy McGuigan Reserve Chardonnay or the crisp and citrusy McGuigan Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, to reds such as the smooth McGuigan Reserve Merlot and the lusciously deep McGuigan Reserve Red Velvet.
