James' Review
The best wines to come from this Riverina winery are from other regions (either in whole or in part), notably Hilltops, Yarra Valley, Tumbarumba and Margaret River. As McWilliam's viticultural resources have expanded, it has been able to produce regional blends from across Australia of startlingly good value. The winery rating is strongly reliant on the exceptional value for money of the Hanwood Estate and Inheritance labels. McWilliam's is the owner of Mount Pleasant (Hunter Valley), Barwang (Hilltops) and Evans & Tate (Margaret River), the value of which will become ever more apparent as the ability of these brands to deliver world-class wines at appropriate prices is leveraged by group chief winemaker Jim Chatto (see separate entries for each of these wineries). McWilliam's is a founding member of Australia's First Families of Wine, and 100% owned by the McWilliam family. Exports to all major markets.
