FAQS
1. Who owns McWilliams wines? +
McWilliam's Wines was founded in 1877 by Samuel McWilliam in New South Wales, and the McWilliam family owned and operated the business for multiple generations. The company went into voluntary administration in 2020 following financial difficulties, after which it was purchased by new owners who continue to operate the McWilliams and Mount Pleasant labels. The winery is headquartered in Hanwood, Griffith, in the Riverina region of New South Wales.
2. Where is McWilliams Winery? +
McWilliam's Wines operates from two primary locations. The Hanwood Estate winery and headquarters is located in Hanwood near Griffith, in the Riverina region of New South Wales. The Mount Pleasant winery, which produces the Elizabeth Semillon and OPC Shiraz, is located in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Both wineries are open to visitors, with the Hanwood Estate offering a full cellar door experience in Griffith.
3. What is McWilliams Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon? +
The McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon is one of Australia's most celebrated white wines. Made from Hunter Valley Semillon and bottled at a low alcohol level while still young, the Elizabeth is designed for extended cellaring and typically develops its full complexity and character after a decade or more in the bottle. It is classified at the Exceptional tier in Langton's Classification of Australian Wine, the highest recognition in Australia's most respected fine wine classification system.
4. What are the most popular McWilliams wines? +
McWilliams' most popular wines span two tiers. At the everyday level, the Inheritance range and Hanwood Estate table wines are among the label's most widely consumed. At the premium end, the Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon is McWilliams' most decorated wine, while the Hanwood Estate 10 Year Old Grand Tawny is consistently awarded at Australian wine shows and is one of the country's bestvalue aged fortified wines. The full range is available at Just Wines with fast delivery Australia-wide.
5. What makes Hunter Valley Semillon unique? +
Hunter Valley Semillon is one of Australia's most distinctive wine styles. The region's warm days and cool nights produce Semillon that is harvested early, at low sugar levels and low alcohol, with vibrant acidity and subtle fruit character when young. Over time, these wines undergo a remarkable transformation in the bottle, developing toast, honey, and lanolin complexity that is unlike any other Semillon style in the world. McWilliams' Elizabeth Semillon is widely regarded as the benchmark example of this style.
